As the nights are getting longer and our days are getting colder, I thought its the perfect time to remember the hard working Wood Gnomes of Blackwater Valley.
Once a month our dedicated volunteers spend the day processing wood to be sold to the public as firewood. The money we receive is then used to further conserve and manage our sites within the Valley.
We have two different types of firewood for sale:
Seasoned, untreated oak rails – £3 per bag, £10 for 4 bags or £20 for a tonne sack.
- Split logs in a mixture of wood – £5 per bag, £12 for 3 bags or £30 for a tonne sack
The firewood can be collected on Friday afternoons between 1.30pm and 4.00pm. Please either email blackwater.valley@hants.gov.uk or phone 01252 331353 to arrange collection so that we can make sure someone is in for you.
A ‘bag’ is a rubble sack which can be purchased at Ash Lock for £1 and a tonne sack refers to the cubic amount not weight of wood.
A special thank you to todays Wood Gnomes Eric, Tony, Melvyn, Duncan and Edmond for another great days work !!
Have a lovely weekend
