We are also involved with our neighbouring woodland management and will be coppicing a section in winter 2021 and therefore the whole area will benefit from different management techniques. In addition a handbook has been published to give information and advice on the management of trees, stools and woodlands as coppice: Basically a patchy coppice and subsequent singling of trees to create a less uniform structure to the woodland.
COPPICE WOODLAND MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONAL
We undertake coppice restoration and broadleaved woodland management to a high professional standard, we undertake surveys and research, we create woodland apprenticeships and run community events. In 19 coppice types were not differentiated.Īdapted from "The Silviculture And Management Of Coppice Woodlands" (see below). is a Community Interest Company established in September 2021.
Estimated areas (1000’s Ha) of simple coppice and coppice with standards recorded in surveys made during the 20th century Year Because of this long history, ancient coppice woodlands are often. Whilst there has been much interest in the ecology of coppice woodlands there has been little systematic study of the silviculture of either coppice stools or woodlands. It was the most common form of woodland management in Britain until the mid 1800s. Coppice restoration can improve the economic viability of a woodland and help woodland wildlife particularly woodland flowers that are in decline in many under-managed woodlands. Coppice woodland Only recommended in previously coppiced woodlands. However, during recent years there has been a revival of interest in this form of management.Ĭoppice woodlands often have a potentially high conservation value, but many of those that remain are neglected, and require management in order to retain their character and biodiversity. Coppice Management Many coppiced woodlands are neglected and under-managed and require restoration to ensue the survival of the coppice stools. Coppicing sycamore prevents seed dispersal but provides abundant insect food. Coppice was the traditional form of silviculture practised in many woodlands in lowland Britain, and the estimated areas of simple coppice, and coppice with standards, has been declining for at least a century.
