Birchanger Wood consists of 69 acres of ancient coppiced woodland – hornbeam, hazel, ash, birch, oak, sweet chestnut, cherry, holly, and a wide range of flora including English bluebells, wood anemones and golden saxifrages. The wood is maintained entirely by volunteers in accordance with a management plan drawn up by professional ecologists and the Forestry Commission for the benefit of local community and visitors and supported by donations from a wide range of organisations, private, public and by individuals.

The logs have been seasoning (drying) and are now ready to burn!

A reminder that our wood is certified ‘Ready to Burn’ – this means that is has dried out enough to burn efficiently, which is better for the environment and better for your chimney! You can find out more about what this means at the Ready to Burn organisation’s website by clicking here.
All proceeds from the sale of logs go straight back into the conservation of this special wood, making sure that it is here for future generations to enjoy.
Update as of 1st January 2023: we have now sold out of seasoned firewood! Our log sales are now suspended until further notice. We hope to start selling again in autumn / winter 2023, once our newer stores have fully seasoned.
