We’re Planting Sustainable Willow!<\/h2>\n

Providing sustainable heritage willow for the future…<\/h3>\n

A major aim of our company, is to see more land in the UK being used for sustainable willow cultivation. 2016 \u2013 2017 has seen three English Willow plots planted on the Weald Ridge and in the Sussex lowlands. We have a major Withy Bed planting project planned for 2021<\/a> where over 40,000 willow trees will be planted solely for production of willow for coffin making<\/p>\n

Our plots holds some 13 different heritage willow varieties, carefully selected and sourced from the \u201cNational Willows Collection\u201d in Hertfordshire and long established willow beds in Somerset. We aim to supply all of our own willow for coffin making, grown organically in Sussex.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
