Furnace Brook CIC

Furnace Brook CIC is an oasis in the Sussex High Weald National Landscape. Based at a beautiful 80 acre site, we operate as a rural arts, ecology & micro enterprise hub, shaping the land & lakes management in response to the climate & ecological crisis, while promoting a re-connection with nature. Furnace Brook CIC works in cooperation with the United Nations Association ‘Generation Restoration’ programme. “Our priority is to protect & enhance the biodiversity & natural beauty here & to contribute to partnerships focused on modelling practical grass roots responses to the climate and ecological emergency.” “My main interests as a mycologist are learning about medicinal & edible species, the Physical & mental benefits of fungi, studying the complex & far reaching connections & relationships between the world of fungi, the natural environment & us! As we are in peril of forgetting our place in nature". Making our own biochar onsite as part of a holistic system of management, we combine it with microbial composts, Woodchip & mycorrhizal sporulate infusions, creating a powerful soil remediation solution which significantly enhances plant growth. Using fungi's ability to neutralise pollution & symbiotically benefit organisms for increased soil biodiversity & carbon sequestration.
