Willow harvested for biomass

In addition to growing willow for fence manufacture we also harvest a proportion of it as woodchip. We have recently finished harvesting and to see how we do this you can view the video below. The harvesting is undertaken every three years, the woodchip produced, referred to as biomass, will be used to co-fire with coal to produce electricity at Drax power station in Yorkshire. This is helping the UK reduce its CO2 emissions.
