I wasn’t patient enough… so I’ve missed out on the new Peterson 12” cut capacity 🤦‍♂️

While other companies rush their machines out, Peterson beats theirs to death in R&D until nothing breaks. The result? Fewer problems, bigger cuts and something that actually lasts. ...

Our long awaited Peterson shipment lands tomorrow!! 🚢🔥

📍Bedfordshire the 13th of October

Join us in Reynolds and holcot woods hosted by @forestofmarstonvale

This woodland wasn’t always here. It grew out of brick pits and landfill - land that most people had written off.

Marstons Vale in Bedfordshire is living proof ...that what’s wasted can be reclaimed.
Not through noise, not through hype.
Through people, planting and persistence:

We warmly invite you to our final demo location tour.

📍Grantland Farm 11th October
Peterson demo tour.

I wish I knew 10 years ago what I know now. Trees create shelter, shape and when managed give back more than we realise.

The Peterson was built by a farmer, for farmers.

We welcome you to join us in our Devon demo... day.
Showing that forestry, belongs on farms and always has.

On the 8th of October we welcome you to join us in Boncath, Pembrokeshire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

When a storm hit a community an individual was told to pay £50,000 to reopen a public road due to the destruction of the trees.

Would a sawmill have been able to offset that ...cost?
I believe so.

The rest of the UK may have forgotten about the storms that devastated wales, this community didn’t.

Join us in Pembrokeshire.

Thank you to the @the_ginger_wood_worker for some footage.

On October the 5th in Argyll and Bute, scotlands biggest mobile sawmill will be fired up for you to view.

20 sawmills lost in Scotland in the last decade.

We’re putting one back.

This is more than a sawmill demo.

Join us in Argyll & Bute.

Why these 4 places matter.

Scotland. Wales. Devon. Bedfordshire
Four communities. Four stories.

Each one shows what happens when timber isn’t wasted and what changes when a community drives our woodlands.

These demo days aren’t about machines.
They’re about... memory.
They’re about opportunity.
They’re about proving that timber belongs to people, not supply chains.

This is the start of the series.
Watch closely.

No demand for local timber? That’s a lie.

UK imports 80% of its timber.
We spent 9 billion on timber imports last year.
We exported 1.7 billion

That means the UK is bleeding value while small scale producers, woodland owners and rural trades are told ‘there’s no ...demand.’

That’s a lie.

There’s plenty of demand - just not for you.

When you start converting timber, growing your own food, producing your own energy - they lose control.

Here’s what I’ve learnt trying to access forestry funding:

Are computer - illiterate farmers being quietly pushed out of forestry funding?

Because when the only way to access support is through chunky portals, jargon heavy PDF’s and agents charging £90 an hour to ‘help’... - it’s not inclusion. Its exclusion.

Many farmers:
- Are over 60
- Still rely on family access to government services
- Work land that’s more mud than margins

Yet they’re expected to unlock environmental grants written for policy analysts, not working people.

Digital exclusion isn’t a side issue, it’s a silent barrier between farmers and the funding they need to plant trees, restore woodlands and manage their land with resilience.

Are we actually supporting farmers or just testing their admin skills?
