I do like this suggestion very much Nick but I don't think that I know
enough about the management side of it to try.

How about poplars, is it wet enough?

Why not plant willow then coppice it every 4 or 5 years for fuel, or
take up basket making.

Both poplars and willows make ghastly fuel - they are murder to
keep going in an open fire unless very dry, in which case they
burn up in no time at all. There are lots of much better trees
and shrubs, except for very boggy ground.
