Looking to volunteer in interesting woodlands, Yorkshire

[Tilia]

Hi there,

 

I've just moved back to my home county of Yorkshire after working in conservation, arb and forestry for the past three years in Scotland. I'm doing a non-practical consultancy role down here, which I'm loving, but would still like to keep up a bit of practical work and have fun with a chainsaw every so often on a weekend.

 

I guess I'm hoping that there might be someone on here who owns or works a woodland in the West Yorkshire area, hopefully someone with similar conservation-minded principles, who might like a hand every so often on a weekend. I have valid NPTC tickets and my own saw/PPE, and would happy to volunteer in return for the odd log for carving!

 

Cheers for reading and feel free to message

Hi there,

 

I am based in Suffolk so no help whatsoever!

 

However, my uncle has recently purchased a beautiful wood in Yorkshire, and I'm sure he would be grateful of a hand. The only problem is that he is in N. Yorkshire (Pately Bridge) This may be further than you want to travel, but he does have a well equipped pod in the wood for staying over!

 

Let me know if this is of interest and I can put you in touch.

 

All the best, Graham.

Hi Graham,

Unfortunately that probably is a bit too far to travel - but thank you for your response anyhow, and hope your uncle enjoys his woodland!

Cheers

whereabouts are you in Yorkshire ?

Hi mate, sorry for late reply - I'm out in Huddersfield if that's any use...?
