Welcome
to the Green Wood Centre...
based in Coalbrookdale just a short way from historic Ironbridge,
the Green Wood Centre is an innovative interpretation
centre for woodland management, coppicing,
sustainable building and other sustainable
technologies.
The Centre promotes sustainable living through a wood based economy
by running courses in woodland
management and related activities and making landscape
furniture from local FSC timber. The site
has one of the UK's most energy efficient
timber buildings and is now the national
centre for excellence in the field of crafts
and coppice.
The Green Wood Centre is home to the
Ironbridge
Woodland Experience
which includes the Woodland Hall, a “state
of the art”
Conference and Events venue,
Cherry’s Real Food Café, a retail outlet for
coppice products, displays of coppice tools,
coracles in all stages of construction and
of course woodland walks around the
Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site. Access
to woodland walks throughout the year.
We deliver successful and popular Open College
Network accredited courses in Coppicing, Hedge
Laying, Coppice Products, Sustainable Woodland
Management, Introduction to Small Woodland
Management and Woodland Monitoring and
Evaluation. We hope that we will be able to
expand this portfolio even further to encompass
other aspects of woodland management, green
woodworking and social forestry. We also hope to
deliver courses nationally and develop training
opportunities in partnership with other agencies
around the country, including the Centre for
Alternative Technology in Wales and the
Sustainability Centre in Hampshire.
