Thanks for all the suggestions guys, really helpful. I like the idea of dishing out 'fill your own' nets in return for a donation. Processing it in to small bits shouldn't be a problem, we usually have plenty of volunteers willing to help. I always tell them to take a boot load home if they want it as well!

Great idea, thank you. Hadn't crossed my mind to sell the bag rather than the wood! We've had someone say they want to make an offer for the job lot, I just don't have much of a clue what a decent offer might look like and don't want to short change myself.

Hi, Occasional lurker, first time poster. I work for an independent charity managing a 750 acre wetland nature reserve. We fell bits and bobs as part of the habitat management work we carry out so often have lumps of wood kicking around. We have a couple of wood burners on site, but always end up with a surplus. I'm wondering if any of you kind people would offer an opinion on the value of the bits pictured, sold as seen? It's 95% ash with a few oddments of oak, apple, and poplar. We end up with around this amount each year from woodland thinning. From what I've read on the Ready to Burn scheme, it doesn't seem like it would be worth our while to process such a small amount and sell in handy bags at our visitor centre after membership fees and such, and we don't have the means to deliver locally in quantities of 2 cubic metres. Any advice on this or other ways of turning tree 'waste' in to a bit of extra pocket money for the charity is appreciated. We cut lots of willow trees down and rarely do anything with it other than burn it on bonfires or leave it for habitat too. Cheers, Luke
