Arnos Vale ensures wood fuel is Ready to Burn

We comply with the Air Quality (Domestic Solid Fuels Standards) Regulations 2020. Our logs are seasoned onsite between 6 months and a year. We use a traditional drying technique, through metal air cages and the gentle breeze. This is much more eco-friendly than imported kiln dried wood, and achieves a better burn. Our wood has a  moisture content of 20% or less, giving you the  confidence that the wood is suitably dry.

Our Estate Manager, Nick says “The legislation helps to reduce particulate emissions and improve air quality. Certified wood fuels gives more heat from each piece, burning more efficiently and reduces the environmental impact of burning. It’s also better for your appliance and chimney.”

The DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) Ready to Burn certification scheme is run by Woodsure, striving to raise the quality of wood fuel in the industry.

We reuse our bags

Generous local brewers give us their empty malt sacks. Please return your empty bags so we can fill them up all over again!

Ash dieback

Ash dieback is perfectly safe to burn as fuel. The spores are only harmful to other ash trees when they are in leaf. You can find out more about our response to Ash dieback on site in this blog. You may also be interested to learn more about this disease from the National Trust and from Forest Research.

Please don’t remove logs or branches from the site

Some logs and branches may look abandoned here, but they provide a valuable service to the ecosystem. Something we are passionate about supporting. Please don’t take them without permission. You can find out more about deadwood habitats from the Woodland Trust.

Can I buy green wood from you to season at home?

Under the new Air Quality (Domestic Solid Fuels Standards) Regulations 2020 you can buy green loose wood from us in quantities of 2m3 or more. If you’re interested in this please email us.

We are a charity

We have been providing these logs to the community for over 10 years. Did you know our volunteers have achieved ‘The Queen’s award  for Voluntary Service? It’s the highest award given to volunteer groups across the UK.

Every £1 we raise goes directly into enhancing and protecting this special place so that it can be shared with the Bristol community, and beyond. Please donate if you can and help to support this magical, special place.
