Free firewood @ Hurst Water Meadow

I am not sure if this is still available, let me know if it is gone, but always good to recycle/reuse and share within the community.

Timber which has been removed from our meadows is stacked in the car parking area adjacent to Old Bridge Meadow at Dorchester Bridge.  Large logs need to be sawn and split; the wood is still green, and much of it is willow.  Anyone who can use the wood may help themselves.  If you need vehicular access please contact Andrew Clements.
