Still, there’s a lot to be getting on with

Next Year’s Coppice (for cutting)

Last Year’s Coppice (for charcoal burning)

When coppicing, the more a tree is chopped down the stronger its “stool”, and the more vigorous its regrowth becomes. The general practice is to re-coppice every five to nine years depending on what the wood is to be used for e.g. five for thatching spars and nine for Yurt poles.
