2008/09 The Tree to Timber Trail

At Orchard Barn, we are keen to show how local trees can usefully be converted into timber. During the summer of 2008, we sourced Oaks in woods about 10 miles from the barn. They were due to be felled - whether we bought them or not. Andy Davison brought his fathers mobile saw-mill to the woods to mill the oak. They yielded some beautiful timber that was used to repair the barn.

Contact us if you'd like to know more about the Orchard Barn project, courses or volunteer opportunities.
