Green Wood Centre in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, is a national centre for the revival of the coppice industry in the United Kingdom. It aims to support native broadleaved woodlands through the teaching of traditional woodland management skills and greenwood crafts.
It is a venture of the Small Woods Association (formerly called the Greenwood Trust), a registered charity which was formed in 1984 with the help of many volunteers and specialists who were concerned about the environment.
Green Wood Centre also houses the Ironbridge Woodland Experience for visitors. Located close to the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, the Green Wood Centre is the first establishment in Shropshire to achieve a Gold award in the Green Tourism Business Scheme.
