With the right approach, a healthy future exists for those that remain something that the Charity wanted to demonstrate by taking over Whitney Sawmills. Being at the centre of the timber supply chain, Woodland Heritage believes that sawmills and the skills required to work them, are a crucial part of the British timber industry.

Our aim is to continue to source an increasing amount of our log supplies from well-managed UK woodlands and estates, as well as from Europe, to help promote the sustainability and legacy of our native timber.Īfter a decade of collaboration with Woodland Heritage in delivering their ‘Woodland to Workshop’ courses, Whitney Sawmills was acquired by the Charity in 2016. Recently we have become part of the UK charity, Woodland Heritage which is working to improve and promote this country’s whole timber supply chain from tree planting and management, through processing to quality end products. For example, timber from Whitney Sawmills has been selected for restoration work in both HMS Victory and the King’s dining room in Edinburgh Castle - view case studies for more details. We are also renowned for providing unusual and specialist hardwoods and softwoods in demand for particular restoration projects as well as furniture making and house-building. For many years we have supplied fresh sawn Oak and Douglas Fir beams as well as air- and kiln-dried timber including Oak, Ash, Sweet Chestnut, Sycamore, Cherry, Elm, and Poplar.


We would, however, prefer that customers continue to wear face masks whilst in close proximity to our staff and others.īased in Herefordshire, Whitney Sawmills is well established as a leading British sawmill.
