Peterson Swing Mill

Total project costs £12,000
Fund grant £4,800 (40% of total)

The Sustainable Development Fund awarded a grant to a New Forest tree surgeon to purchase a Peterson Mobile Swing Mill.

Often when trees have to be felled or when they fall down they are logged up for firewood or left to decay as there is no viable means of turning them into valuable timber. The use of a Peterson Mobile Swing Mill enables them to be turned into valuable and useful lumber which can then be used to create a variety of local timber products.

It is anticipated that increasing the supply of quality local timber products will play a role in decreasing the use of imported timber from non-sustainable sources.
