Birchett's Wood is a beautiful twenty five-acre deciduous Sussex woodland and this is my workplace.

I have been a wood collier (maker of sustainable barbecue charcoal) for about ten years and I do this all year round within my wood. There aren't many women wood colliers but I'm very proud to be one of them, especially as I sell my product to the surrounding farm shops and make a living out of it.

​

I also have an acre size lake for coarse fishing (opening shortly)

​

I also produce high-quality firewood for the local villages and towns during the colder months, see the firewood page.
