STIGA say their team love to offer all the help they can to good causes all over the UK, but local schemes in the South West are especially close to their hearts.

So when 'The Marldon Community Composting Group' in Devon mentioned that they needed something to help with their cutting and chopping, the company say they jumped at the chance to offer one of their CS 750 chainsaws for this worthwhile scheme.

The 'Marldon Community Composting' scheme is intent on promoting home composting and offers a place where locals can take their bulky garden waste for it to be composted into usable garden soil conditioner. 

Since its launch in 2021, the group has been growing steadily and now has eight members, one of whom is very knowledgeable on environmental issues as he previously worked for Teignbridge Council as an environment and recycling officer.

After obtaining permission from a local farmer to use land for the scheme, the team are busy constructing the pens on the site and are hoping to be fully functional in March 2024.
