Woodfuel Forums

A valuable opportunity to network with wood fuel users and suppliers. You'll get a wealth of local information about the sector. They are open to all and are free.

Woodfuel Forums are an valuable opportunity to share ideas and discuss woodfuel issues, whether you're new to woodfuel or a veteran. Meetings often include relevant presentations or a site visit to a wood fuel installation or supply centre.

They also aim to develop a collective voice for the sector, and encourage members to work together to improve all stages of the wood fuel supply chain, from supply to installation.

There is a Scotland wide network of regional Woodfuel Forums, with active groups in the Borders, Dumfries and Galloway, Grampian, East of Scotland, Ayrshire, Central Scotland, Highlands and Islands and Argyll.
