• Join Cumbria Woodlands on October 31st for an opportunity to learn about products from temperate rainforests with the Coppice Coop.

As part of our Cumbrian Rainforest Project, we have arranged a day with the Coppice Coop to look at what woodland products can be sourced from a temperate rainforest. The day will be run by Angus Walsh (Cumbria Woodlands) and James Benson (Coppice Co-op) and will start with a demonstration charcoal burn, beginning at 9am. There will be the opportunity to find out more about what products are derived from the Cumbria rainforest. Once the kiln is lit, there will be time for lunch, followed by a walk in the neighbouring woodland, led by experienced foresters from the Coppice Co-op.

When? 31st Oct, 09:00-15:00

Where? The Coppice Co-ops Yard (The Depot, Slack Head, Milnthorpe LA7 7BA)

We’ve recently been given some photographic slides of a charcoal earthburn by Jack Allonby in Grizedale Forest in 1973. This burn was also filmed, and Brian Crawley has miraculously located a copy on Vimeo so we can all watch it. Here it is: https://vimeo.com/400658539 . Absolute treasure!

We are hoping to do an earthburn next year, to which you’ll all be invited. We’ll also need volunteers. Watch this space!

We’ve asked Emma to do us another fabulous CANW Newsletter. Please could you have a think if there is anything you are up to that other members might find interesting. If you could drop Emma a line with any content ideas the entire membership will thank you for it. [email protected]

Or, alternatively, if you can think of something interesting that someone else is doing that you feel they ought to share then please pass on their details so we can establish communication!!!
