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 Green Wood Centre is part of the national woodland charity,
the Small Woods Association.
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.
Open daily 11am - 4pm in the Winter and 10am - 5pm in the Summer,
entry is free.
The Green Wood Centre is the first establishment in Shropshire to
achieve a Gold award in the Green Tourism
Business Scheme.
