Charcoal & Firewood Training 
with Scott Fraser

 

Scott Fraser, based near Uckfield, East Sussex, has over 18 years experience in the arboricultural industry. As a Lantra Awards approved instructor and NPTC assessor, Scott offers Lantra Awards training for chainsaw maintenance, felling, climbing & aerial rescue, dismantling, chipper and grinder. With all his industry and training experience, Scott recognises some gaps in the training market and is now developing two new Lantra  approved courses: Charcoal Making and Firewood Processing.    

Initially the charcoal making course will run from Plashett Wood in East Sussex, in conjunction with Harvey Malthouse, a highly experienced underwoodsman and charcoal maker. The 2 day practical course will equip you with all the skills necessary to convert a range of hardwoods to charcoal safely and efficiently.  The firewood processing course will equip trainees with the skills necessary to operate firewood processing equipment safely, including maintenance and dealing with common operational faults.  

The target audience is wide: industry workers looking to add another skill/product to their portfolio, woodland owners and members of the public interested in conservation/traditional crafts. The courses will also be marketed as experiential gifts, unusual, practical and sustainable.
