Countryside Workshop: Coppicing

Woodland Skills

Take part in the traditional task of coppicing in Hartford Wood where the practice has been taking place for over 800 years, making it one of the oldest managed woodlands in England. 

We will introduce you to the use of hand tools to cut the hazel coppice to produce sustainable products and benefit wildlife. 

At the end of the session, you are welcome to take home a bundle of pea sticks for use in your own garden. 

Please come dressed for the weather and bring work gloves if possible. We recommend welly boots or work boots as the woodland can be very wet. 

This course is suitable for beginners (age 18 and over)
