CYMRAEG

For 20 years the Coed Cymru Partnership has actively promoted the use of unseasoned oak and sweet chestnut in a wide range of standard and bespoke countryside furniture for the following reasons:-

  • These products use a variety of sizes and grades of components minimising waste

  • The timbers are naturally durable. No treatment is necessary so that at the end of its service life the product is not "hazardous waste"

  • The demand for raw materials has significantly increased the value of these timbers to growers in Wales. Public bodies and individuals can see their ethical/local purchasing decisions providing direct incentive for woodland management.

  • Local businesses benefit. We now have over 100 small sawmills in Wales. Details of local suppliers are available from Coed cymru.

  • The use of tropical harwoods has been significantly reduced.

    Coed Cymru can provide information on traditional uses and designs including:- Gates, stiles and waymarkers, picnic furniture and landscaping products.
