FIRSTLY a great opportunity to support the Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal. However you perceive the war in Ukraine, it is crystal clear that there is a staggering level of suffering, displacement & hardship. For every piece of Ukrainian oak sold we donate £3. One online order for 20 railway sleepers will generate £60 of humanitarian support.
SECONDLY a chance to support a family sawmill in Ukraine situated, close to both Kyiv & Belarus border. They tell us "It's a difficult time. We won't give up & we will carry on to support Ukraine".
THIRDLY a chance to buy wonderful new oak railway sleepers, from approved well managed forests. Brilliant for those wanting a longer lasting alternative to softwood, with a crisp landscaping appearance looking architectural & stylish.
WIN, WIN, WIN!

Once climbed, these railway sleeper steps are never forgotten, being a major challenge to the strength of your determination, legs, & the erratic New Zealand weather. Undeniable, however, are the outstanding and remarkable views of snow covered Mount Cook.

A beautifully created addition to this playground, with solid oak railway sleeper planters, pergolas and benches tastefully nestling against the brick wall perimeter. The school must be thrilled!

That description often applies to a lot of us! Unbelievable that after 60 or 70 years you can still find gnarled & weathered fence posts made from reclaimed tropical hardwood railway sleepers, & still upright!
