Heli, a seven acre plot at Tremadog, purchased by
Trigonos in 2002 includes about four acres of willow
beds, supplying willow for various local projects.
The remaining rocky acreage is an undisturbed wildlife
haven which is protected by its seclusion.
The
willow is harvested during the winter months before
the sap rises and is used at Trigonos or sold on
to local schools, community
groups, landowners and gardeners. Amongst
its many uses are hurdles, fences, garden ornaments
and craft work, live willow sculptures and arcades.
Willow
is a versatile and natural material, and a renewable
and sustainable resource, that supports wildlife
during it's growing period and during its life as
a natural garden feature.
