Firewood
Conifer firewood is becoming a viable and efficient alternative to fossil fuels, with excellent supporting environmental credentials. With the expected introduction of the Renewable Heat Incentive in April 2011, burning woody biomass is expected to gain in popularity, especially where people live within easy access of a supply of firewood.
In addition to the harvesting services offered to clients, Scottish Woodlands Ltd is able to deliver bulk quantities of conifer firewood material for the retail market in the north-west Highlands. Typically, we can offer dry pine or spruce logs from well managed sustainable forests in the Highlands (certified to FSC and PEFC standards).
We can deliver loads in the following quantities: 10 tonnes, 15 tonnes and 25 tonnes. The 2 larger loads would be delivered by a self-discharging articulated timber truck (with a crane) and equivalent in size to a 6-wheeler oil or gas tanker truck. Logs would be delivered in 3 metre lengths, up to 40cm diameter (equivalent to the size of a usual steering wheel) 25-tonne loads offer the best economic rate for both the customer and haulier (and the lowest carbon footprint), so if at all possible please try to maximise the quantity ordered!
Please contact us at our Fort William office if you would like more details and to check if you live within the delivery area.
