About Bonny’s Wood
Bonny’s Wood is located in Clayton, West Sussex and is classified as an Ancient Semi Natural Woodland (ASNW) with a National Vegetation Classification: NVC 8.
It is home to ancient woodland native species such as oak trees with hazel, field maple, birch and ash coppice, together with a range of native woody shrubs, including hawthorn, wild crab apple, holly and honeysuckle. The ground flora consists of bluebells, wood anemones and many more herb species – indications of the ancient classification. The woodland has received praise for its range of preserved native species.
With approval from the Forestry Commission, a management plan has been drawn up, with the aim to bring the working woodland back to its traditional and historical method of management and sustainable production.

Practices
Understanding the increasing need for environmental care, Bonny’s Wood aims to recycle 100% of all green waste produced. Tree surgery and general maintenance generate a large amount of green waste, the majority of which we chip and supply mulch, biomass woodchip or process to be supplied locally as firewood. All non-green wastes produced are recycled by reducing the materials we use, re-using previous materials where possible or sending them to appropriate facilities for recycling.
We use bio-chain oil with alkylate petrol which is virtually free from sulphur, benzene and solvents, making it less harmful than regular petrol. Our depot and office are off-grid, fully powered by solar energy, where we store energy for later use in our hybrid generator. We have also invested in electric mobiles to further our environmental care initiative.
