Looking for a small woodland to work in/rent North East

[canty86]

Hi,

 

I'm in the North East of England.

 

I know land is a premium in this country in particular, but i'm after a small piece of unused, probably derelict woodland to use.

 

My intention is to get it cleaned up and possibly make a small venture out of it. I'm talking about very small scale production, firewood, charcoal making, maybe some more adventurous bits and pieces. I'm only interested in low impact work, and working with the woodland in mind and any ideas you may have.

 

I have chainsaw NPTC 30 & 31 and i worked voluntarily in France a couple of years ago doing carpentry/various eco related tasks and cleaning up a small derelict woodland using the waste to make charcoal sold on site for the owners 'eco' tourism business.

So i've got some of the basic skills and knowledge to get going.

This is something i've wanted to do for a while now, but been unable to because of my full time job. I still work full time but my job is much more flexible and i only work term time.

 

At best this will work out and i can make a small venture out of it and potentially get something valuable out it.

 

At worst, you'll give me the chance to do something i love doing and you'll get your woodland cleaned up for free for whatever you want to do with it.

 

I'm happy to discuss a small financial issues regarding use of the land.

 

If anyone has got any ideas, let me know

 

All the best

 

Chris
