All firewood supplied is hardwood including Ash, Beech, Silver birch, Sycamore, Hornbeam etc. The firewood is sourced locally from sustainable woodland. This reduces the cost to the environment by limiting the transport distances.

Traditional thinking on burning logs for heat is that it ruins the environment and adds to global warming. However firewood is not a fossil fuel and comprises of carbon molecules recently fixed from the surrounding environment. If these logs are burnt the carbon molecules will be released as carbon dioxide but will not add to the total amount of carbon dioxide in the world. If the tree was not cut down for firewood it would mature, die and eventually rot, thus releasing the carbon it had trapped from the atmosphere. To counter the affects of global warming it is important to re-grow or re-plant tress thus trapping more carbon dioxide that can be used as firewood or timber. Effectively every log burnt to provide heat stops us burning coal, oil or gas which does have an affect our environment.
