Childer Wood Heavy Horse Centre - CWHHC - is the woodland training centre run by Doug Joiner in mixed woodland in Herefordshire.

One to one tuition

Group tuition

Courses run in Childer Wood are part of the overall Woodland Management Strategy.

Woodland Management Courses are based upon our approach to profitable, small woodland management. Theoretical inputs are based upon that ethos. Practical skills are developed doing the jobs that need doing, dependant upon the time of the year.

Chain Saw Courses fell trees that need to be felled as part of our ongoing woodland management; in particular the clearing of areas of norway spruce and beech to allow natural regeneration of a mixed native woodland through continuous cover techniques.

Horse Logging Courses extract the full range of timber types and sizes that we have to extract in order to process and sell them.

All the courses are integrated with the practical work that goes on in this working woodland.
