Coppice Restoration

Coppicing is a traditional method of woodland management, put simply, it is the periodic cutting of a tree.  Most broad leaf trees will survive and actually thrive when coppiced.  They regrow  with multiple stems and these can be harvested for many different uses dependent on the age and species of tree.

For a more detailed explanation, see the excellent ‘Brief history of coppicing‘ on the Small Woods Association (SWA) website
