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 a 'state of the art' woodland
hall, a vegetarian whole-food cafe, 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.
Cherry’s Real Food Café @ The Green Wood
Centre will be open each day from 10.00 – 4.00
p.m.
Specialising in good rustic food, which is
vegetarian and home-made by us on site or
sourced from local suppliers. In keeping with
our own ethical code and principles, we have
adopted a policy of sourcing produce that is
high quality, ethical and where ever possible,
local and organic. As a result our food is
fresh, seasonal, interesting and delicious!
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.
