Inzievar Woods - composting Toilets

Exciting news
Composting toilets have been installed at Inzievar!

Perhaps this news doesn’t leave you trembling on the edge of your seat. However just think of the possibilities:-

• Take your school or group for a visit, party or wide game in the woods. Don’t just go for a walk come for a day and let the kids run wild.
• Expertise on composting toilets now available, we are happy to give advice and information for others setting up toilets
• Interest in low impact buildings – come and see our green oak frame, larch cladding and shingled building, all made from local timber using local workforce.

Seriously, composting toilets themselves may not be the most exciting thing of the millennium, however they offer an important part in the sustainable management of our countryside, community woodlands and wilder amenities. If you would like more information about installing and managing composting toilets call us or come and see for yourselves

Grants from Hanson Environment Fund, Fife Environment Trust and Fife Council have made this possible

Scottish Wood Centre

The Scottish Wood centre was set up with the help of funds from Rural Challenge, Fife Environment Trust and Shell Better Britain. We take in waste timber and timber from woodlands undergoing management in the local area and convert it to kiln dried or fresh sawn timber. We also produce flooring and some basic outdoor furniture. If you would like to have something made then please check out local craftsmen who work with us.

We need your help

If you are interested in wood or woodlands, whether you are in a timber related business or enjoy DIY, live in the local community or have an interest in the environment, if you are a rambler, a landowner or a forester we are interested in your opinions as they will help form the future of our woodlands.
