Our Story
For 30+ years, Tim Parry has been managing and developing the woodland area at Woodside Farm in Gloucestershire, UK. Tim is an agricultural expert and has planted every tree on the site, over 50,000 to date, and he continues to replant and replenish every year.
​
As an advocate for sustainability, zero waste and clean energy - Tim wanted to put the surplus coppice wood to good use and prevent it from deteriorating and releasing gases into the atmosphere. Tim makes sure to leave enough coppice wood for natural habitation and fauna.
​
After years of trials and perfecting his methodology with large estates, local community and ecology groups, Tim set up Woodland Biochar to enable individuals and institutions to take advantage of the vast array of benefits that biochar has to offer.

Sustainability
While biochar has been used for centuries in many parts of the world, only recently has biochar’s potential as a highly sustainable way of improving soil conditions been realised. Biochar is fixed carbon, which means that once the carbon has been removed from the atmosphere, it is stored permanently and not released back. Making biochar from surplus wood also stops the wood from decaying and releasing methane and CO2 into the atmosphere.
Typically made by pyrolysis, a process of heating biomass in the absence of oxygen, biochar can increase nutrient retention and water filtration in soil, making it an ideal addition to agricultural and horticultural processes.
