Timber is used for many types of footpath work, and it is important that a suitable timber and method of preservative treatment (if necessary) are chosen where durability and safety are significant factors. Wherever possible, use local sources of timber to support woodland management in your area. For footpath work in woodlands, try to use timber from within the wood itself, even if this means lessened durability compared with alternative sources. Any imported hardwoods, which may be used for bridges, gates and signs, should be from sustainable sources. All content copyright © 1986-2008 BTCV Ltd. Registered charity No. 261009 |
