We’re back in the woodlands again for some 1% For The Planet work. The grind don’t stop! This week, our task was to build a fence around the area we coppiced, to ensure the old shrubs are untouched and can flourish in the forest. The weather was grim…
Similar to last week’s newsletter, the WCH team were called back into action, much like Thunderbird 2 on another of their famous rescue missions. In case you forgot, coppicing is a pruning technique where a tree or shrub is cut to ground level, resulting in the regeneration of…
Coppicing is a pruning technique where a tree or shrub is cut to ground level, resulting in the regeneration of new stems from the base. It is commonly used for rejuvenating and renovating old shrubs. We worked with 1% For The Planet, Patagonia, The Coppice Coop and Cumbria…
It’s been flip-flopping between warm and chilly, wet and dry, for about two months now, but finally it’s looking like the sun is taking first place. We reckon that makes it officially Patagonia Shorts season. Whether you try out the new Funhoggers collection, made using their Cotton In Conversion…
As you may already know, we’ve spent the last few years working in partnership with 1% For The Planet, donating 1% of all Patagonia revenue towards environmental solutions close to home.

Some may say that fleece weather requires it to be dry, but frankly, that’s not something we can rely on, and so we persist. Luckily, Patagonia have landed with some autumnal goodies, including a fresh batch of fleecewear to keep you toasty as the temperatures begin to drop. …
The concept of wearing fishing nets seems a little bit avant-garde, like something from a Central Saint Martins graduate fashion show. Well, Patagonia have taken that concept and ran with it, developing their NetPlus® project as a way to reduce plastic pollution in the ocean. New silhouettes such as…
Three years ago we bashed bracken, and then we bashed the bracken again before putting up a fence. Then there was a pandemic, followed by Bashing Bracken 3: This Time It’s Personal. Last month we took the fence down to remove diseased trees, and finally… Let there be life. …
For the past three years we’ve been donating 1% of all Patagonia revenue towards Yvon Chouinard’s 1% For The Planet, putting the money to good use in our local area through working with Cumbria Woodlands to restore and maintain the Lake District’s natural forests. So far we’ve bashed…
