About Wildland Hoe

The Warwood Tool Wildland Hoe is a heavy-duty field tool designed for building fire lines, clearing brush and roots, maintaining trails, and working tough ground. It is hand-forged from American steel by Warwood Tool Company at its historic factory in Wheeling’s Warwood neighborhood. Tested in the field with West Virginia land managers and wildland firefighters, the hoe was shaped by the experience of people who protect and maintain our state’s forests and public lands. People should know about it because it combines more than 170 years of West Virginia craftsmanship with a practical tool that supports wildfire preparedness, conservation, recreation, and the workers behind West Virginia’s growing outdoor economy.
