Coppicing

Coppicing is the traditional management of woodland by cutting certain trees on a cycle so that they regrow from the stump. This produces sustainable timber and small wood products while also creating valuable habitat for wildlife. Coppicing is both a practical woodland skill and an important heritage craft.

People working in coppicing may cut and process timber, maintain woodland compartments, restore neglected woods and support biodiversity through active management. It is a physically demanding outdoor role that suits people who enjoy traditional rural skills and woodland work.
