IN WOODS WE TRUST

AUTUMN

Prompted by an article in The Guardian with the glorious title ‘Tree planting ‘has mind-blowing potential’ to tackle climate crisis’ we’ve been thinking about woods. The article carries the upbeat suggestion from scientists based at the Swiss university ETH Zürich that a global tree planting scheme would be the biggest, cheapest and most effective way of taking CO2 out of the atmosphere and tackling the climate crisis. It’s seemingly a beautifully simple solution. Our trees and green spaces have never been more important.

We thought it would be nice to put the woods we walk in and the wooden things we sell next to each other in mutual appreciation.

The makers that we work with that are working with wood are making things at a slow pace, not mass production, not gobbling wood but sourcing wood locally, sometimes using windfall woods, working with the grain, using their hands.
