Thousands of mature trees are felled in London every year – and most are simply chipped and burned.
We're Fallen & Felled, a timber company pioneering a sustainable alternative.
We mill felled urban trees into hardwood timber to be used to make furniture.
It keeps tonnes of carbon out of the atmosphere, and reduces the UK’s reliance on imported hardwood.
Negative carbon footprint
By repurposing London's felled trees into timber, we stopped 122 tonnes of CO2 entering the atmosphere last year.

Wood too good to burn
Over 90% of hardwood timber used in the UK is imported.
And yet, every year thousands of perfectly usable trees are felled in and around London - oak, London plane, ash, sycamore and more. Almost all of them are chipped and used as firewood or to fire power stations.
Every tree incinerated releases a tonne of carbon into the atmosphere - about the same as driving a family car for a year.
Our world urgently needs better solutions.
We save city trees from the fire - milling them into hardwood timber boards and drying them for over 12 months - to transform them into furniture-grade English hardwood timber.
Our timber is used by furniture makers, architects and designers to make things which reconnect people to where they live; keeping carbon in the wood and out of the atmosphere.
Join us on our journey to give more London trees a second life.
