Woodland Pioneers

BHMAT is well known for organising a yearly week of woodland craft courses.

Weaving oak, making charcoal, carving stools, whittling treen.

Run from the beautiful woodlands of Silverdale, North Lancashire.

Get Involved!

You don’t need to be a coppice worker to be involved with BHMAT or Woodland Pioneers.

Maybe you can offer your help in other ways as a volunteer.

Be a Sponsor!

BHMAT is always interested in finding new sponsors.

If you are involved in the coppicing industry and would like to talk to someone about becoming a sponsor, please get in touch.

Our Tool Bank

We have a collection of tools that our apprentices can borrow from – very handy when running courses.

If you’re already involved with BHMAT then we may be able to lend tools to you too!
