About Moreton Wood
Moreton Wood is a beautiful 40 acre woodland being managed by Paul and Jo who are passionate about wildlife and woodland ecology.
Paul bought the woodland back in 2004 and together they started the process of returning it to its natural native tree and wild-flower habitats and began reinstating the ancient cycle of coppicing.
Their main aims are:
- Restoration and conservation to semi natural woodland with diverse habitats for wild flowers, insects, birds and small mammals.
- Re-establishing coppice rotation
- Developing a traditional woodland based business
They have created a thriving traditional woodland-based business, making and selling products directly from the coppice. Using hand tools, horse power, chainsaws, battery technology, solar power, wood fuel and rain water harvesting, it is a truly sustainable enterprise, a joy to be a part of.
In 2025 they were the proud winners of the GOLD award in the Royal Forestry Society Excellence in Forestry Awards.
