Want to Gather Your Own Firewood?

Why Owning a Woodland Might Be the Answer

- 

As the nights draw in and wood burners and fireplaces glow back to life, the idea of gathering your own firewood feels appealing. But before you reach for the wheelbarrow and head into the nearest forest, it's worth knowing that collecting fallen wood from public land, common land or Forestry England sites is not allowed. Every branch and log remains the property of the landowner, and removing it without permission can count as theft.That doesn't mean you can't be hands-on with your firewood supply. For those who enjoy the idea of being involved in the process of selecting, cutting, seasoning, and stacking their own logs, one of the best options is to own a small piece of woodland.Specialist organisations such as woodlands.co.uk make this surprisingly accessible, as they sell small parcels of broadleaf and coniferous woodland across the country, often from just an acre or two upwards.
