The Surrey Hills Wood Fuel Working Group has been established to encourage people and organisations based in and around the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to adopt wood fuel as their primary method of heating and to use the wood fuel now being produced locally. Michael Sydney, Chairman of the Working Group comments;

"We are the most wooded county in the country, and much of this is secondary and low grade woodland that is ideally suited to wood fuel production. We should be aiming now to be the most wood-heated county in the country."

The Surrey Hills Wood Fuel Working Group is organising a Wood Fair at Birtley House in Bramley on Saturday 9th October 2010 to showcase woodland management, woodland products and wood fuel suppliers to the public.
