The team has a range of equipment including a chipping machine, portable saw mill and fali to enable them to carry out a range of diverse tasks.
They also have a limited supply of planked timber such as oak, ash, beech and sycamore, for sale. Seasoned logs from managed woodlands are sold from the base in Bolsover.
