Woodland Work & Conservation
Andrew has been working in the woods for over 10 years, starting in the woodland we called home before branching out to work independently for local landowners and conservation organisations. He then worked for Wild Sussex, carrying out practical work for The RSPB, Wildlife Trust, Sussex Flow and The Woodland Trust before moving to Cumbria to manage a small estate on the shore of Lake Coniston. He now works as a woodsman, woodworker and conservation contractor and works part-time for The Coppice Coop in the South Lakes. We are available for conservation contracts, small scale woodland management projects, chainsaw and tree work, firewood processing and traditional countryside crafts and skills throughout Cumbria. For enquiries please e-mail us: scout@miscellaneousadventures.co.uk
Ways we can help
Some of the projects we’ve worked on include: restoring a vineyard without the use of pesticides and chemicals, building leaky dams to create natural flood management solutions, thinning of conifers to restore ancient woodland, coppicing, clearing windblown trees, making cleft oak and chestnut fencing, planting trees and establishing wildflower meadows, writing management plans and applying for felling licenses, tree veteranisation and much more.
