About Willowburn Woods 
Willowburn woods is a diverse 7 acre site with spruce, native trees and wetlands based in Leadburn in the Scottish Borders. James and his family have been managing it for the last 8 years to grow food, provide fuel and building materials, increase bio diversity and host courses. They aim to convert the 20 year old sitka spuce plantation into a productive hardwood coppice. On site you can find a self build small round-wood framed cabin, a bigger open woodshed and a polytunnel.
