Coppicing and Coppice Crafts Softback

Coppicing & Coppice Crafts – A Comprehensive Guide

Coppicing is an ancient method of enhancing woodland biodiversity, and coppice woodlands are to be found all over Britain including at Great Dixter. The key to successful coppicing is to nurture the new coppice shoots. In return, a coppice will provide an endless supply of wood for a wide range of articles.

The authors present detailed instruction on how to produce many kinds of woodland products; from besom brooms, firewood and charcoal to more challenging items such as hazel hurdles and coracles. This book is a comprehensive guide to the art of coppicing woodland.
