Martin is based in Buckfastleigh in South Devon with his growing family. During the winter Martin co-runs www.southdevonwoodlandmanagement.co.uk, managing woodlands and hedges for conservation and timber production. During the spring and summer Martin produces commissioned furniture and sculpture, using either the client’s own timber from their land, or timber which he has cut himself as part of his tree work activities. He has an alaskan chainsaw mill to convert timber on-site, and experience in the proper drying and sale of wood.
Martin also works with Young People as a mentor and woodwork teacher, using his experience as a woodland tutor at Ruskin Mill college in Gloucestershire, and the conservation group leader at the Sharpham Trust estate in Ashprington, to engage people with nature through their hands and hearts. He is a Trustee of the suicide prevention Charity ‘Goodwill in Action to Prevent Suicide’, and is increasingly convinced that working with others and oneself in nature and with natural materials does great things for mental and physical health.
He is fully qualified and insured for all chainsaw work including tree surgery.
