What does unseasoned mean?
These logs have only recently been processed, and as a result are not yet suitable for use.
They are ready to be dried either by natural methods (sun and wind) or via a kiln.
Benefits of softwood
- This type of wood has a quick burn and is great for getting fires going quickly
Minimal carbon footprint
- Our wood is sourced locally from FSC managed sustainable woodland in Yorkshire. It is no further than 75 miles from our woodyard and farm.
- All packaging is locally sourced too, and is recycled or recyclable.
- Our crates are made on-site with softwood, and we reuse them along with our pallets.
- We use recycled polythene for our packaging, that has been sourced and printed in the UK.
Sustainability
- Sustainability is a cornerstone of our business and a guiding factor in our company decision making. To this end we have planted over 500,00 trees, and we also donate to the Woodland Trust’s woodland management projects.
- The Logwise Quality Assured scheme gives further information on wood types we use, as well as the woodland each piece of timber came from.
