Sustainability at HERTS Firewood

At HERTS Firewood, sustainability isn’t just a goal — it’s at the heart of everything we do.

We proudly supply seasoned hardwood firewood to homes and businesses across Hertfordshire, including our long-standing partner McMullen’s Brewery in Hertford. By choosing HERTS Firewood, you’re supporting a sustainable fuel source that powers both homes and heritage.

Sustainable Sourcing & Replanting Commitment

All our seasoned firewood is sourced through our sister company, Brookmans Park Tree Surgery, where we operate under strict sustainability protocols. Every tree removed is either dead, dangerous, or part of essential land management — and for every tree removed, we ensure another is planted.

We are fully licensed and certified under the Woodsure ‘Ready to Burn’ scheme (DEFRA-approved), guaranteeing firewood that meets the highest standards.

 Nothing Goes to Waste

•  Hardwood from tree surgery is seasoned and recycled into premium firewood.
•  Softwood and unusable timber are chipped and converted into electricity.
•  Bark, mulch, and fine waste repurposed for landscaping or composting.
•  Offcuts and sawdust used for biomass and heat generation.

Supporting Local, Powering Communities

We’re proud to power homes and businesses with sustainable, locally sourced firewood. Our partnership with McMullen’s Brewery reflects shared values of local craftsmanship, environmental responsibility, and community heritage.

When you burn a log from HERTS Firewood, you’re not only staying warm — you’re fuelling a greener future.

Rewilding with Purpose: Restoring an 18th-Century Lake

Beyond firewood, HERTS Firewood is actively reviving the natural legacy of Hertfordshire. With our sister company, Brookmans Park Tree Surgery, we’ve restored an 18th-century boating lake into a thriving biodiverse haven.

• Trees removed were recycled into firewood, mulch, or biomass.
• Surrounding habitat redesigned to support biodiversity and pollinators.
• Comprehensive replanting initiative launched for long-term regeneration.

Sustainability means more than sourcing — it’s about regenerating landscapes and sharing the benefits with communities.
