Event #2:-
Woodchipping in Action:
All day 21st June 2010
Widmore Farm Finmere, Oxfordshire
The Shelswell Estate near Finmere will be chipping 150 tonnes of high quality woodchip using the latest technology. Interested parties are invited to view the machinery in action, courtesy E. von Maltzahn. Woodchip quality and availability locally is a major consideration in the decision to invest in woodchip boilers. The demonstation and point of supply is part of the government’s national Bioenergy Infrastructure Scheme which aims to create confidence and a practical starting point in the trade of quality local woodchip.
