The "Woodsure Ready To Burn Scheme"????

[arboriculturist]

Been working on this approach with people for years, which has helped.

Sun's out and the winds picked up - it going to be the driest day underfoot for 6 months what a difference ! ?

From what HETAS  have told me the devil will be in the detail,  the small print has still to be worked out . 

My logs tested by HETAS averaged 21.7%  so back to the drawing board for me? 

[cessna]

I think I will charge for so many hours gardening and give the logs to the customer ?

[Silverhooker]

the old barter system will come back, how many litres of petrol for a cube of logs ?? or a bog roll ??

So does that mean you don’t have to be registered if you supply over 2m3 loads ?

Can I still supply logs without being Woodsure approved this year or not ?anyone know ?as from what I’ve read I can’t make sense of it !also if I buy from a Woodsure reg company to sell on do I still need to be registered ???as the wood is Woodsure ?

Your sized operation you have until May 2021.

There is a lot more to becoming a 'Certified' supplier than just ensuring the timber you sell is below 20%MC.

Woodsure will answer any queries you may have.

They have a robust system in place to ensure no loopholes exist in case people feel like flouting the law!

How do they plan to police this? 

 

Is it still the case of supply 2 cube and say it still needs seasoning?

Thats the way we are heading. Could have sold our supplies twice over this year so can probably sell out doing 2  cube loads only. Doubt the cash in hand boys will be affected so still plenty to supply the smaller buyers

I think this time it will be like CV19 - there will be no escaping, you will be found.

 

All the Agencies will be working in collaboration LPA, VOSA , EA, DEFFRA, Police  etc. etc. etc. you name it - they have got this covered.

 

Is it still the case of supply 2 cube and say it still needs seasoning? : - Sorry, this time from what I understand, that won't cut it.

 

Not forgetting that the legislation, now enshrined in law and on the 'Statute Books' gives the power to issue fixed penalty notices for offences without the need for a conviction, plus fines escalate for repeat offenders.

 

Unless you are prepared to tow the line it looks like game over. Not a great start unfortunately to 2021 for some.

 

I am sure however , that new doors will open for many as there are far easier ways to earn a living.
