A valuable opportunity to network with wood fuel users and suppliers. You'll get a wealth of local information about the sector. They are open to all and are free.

Whether you're new to woodfuel or a veteran, you can share ideas and discuss issues. They also aim to develop a collective voice for the sector, and encourage members to work together to improve all stages of the wood fuel process, from supply to installation.
