About WoodNet

Linking Timber Growers with Wood Users in South East England

Planked sweet  chestnut in stick

Woodnet was established in 1996 as a partnership of woodland owners and timber processing companies wishing to make better use of locally-sourced materials.  A number of initiatives came out of this collaboration, including:

  • WoodLots - Business to Business trading exchange.
  • Weald WoodFair -  Business to Public Marketing.
  • Woodland Enterprise Centre -  an Innovation Centre for the timber sector demonstrating both wood in construction and renewable energy from local timber.

Further information and access to these activities can be found elsewhere on this site.
