Coppice Trail

‘Coppicing’ is a traditional way of managing woodlands, where trees are cut back to near ground level and regrow to produce straight stems, which can be harvested every few years.

Many species are suitable for coppicing, and each has its own range of uses - fencing, charcoal, fuel, or construction materials. Along the Coppice Trail you can see examples of coppiced trees as well as demonstrations of the uses for coppiced timber.
