Elwy Working Woods We are co-operative based in North Wales, dedicated to rural regeneration, job creation and sustainable rural development.

We micro-manage 4 small woodlands, working to improve timber quality for future generations and improving access for the public. Elwy Working Woods is a co-operative committed to managing the woodland surrounding the picturesque Elwy valley. We are a group of professionals doing a range of woody things from saw-milling, traditional timber framing, basket making, charcoal burning and firewood, tree planting and forestry. Our eventual aim is to build beautiful timber framed houses from our own wood, fueled entirely from our own logs. So far we have 12 members but we're always looking for more.
