Bringing New
Life to Ancient Woodlands

Ancient coppice woodlands are a valuable part of our natural heritage, offering rich biodiversity and sustainable resources. With expert guidance, you can restore these woodlands to their former glory, ensuring they remain productive and resilient for generations to come.

Restored coppice woodlands can provide a variety of valuable products, including:

• Firewood and Charcoal: Sustainable and high-quality fuel sources.

• Craft Products: Hurdles, thatching spars and other traditional products for local markets.

• Biodiversity Benefits: Improved habitats that support native wildlife.

Understanding the value of your woodland’s yield is crucial to its sustainable management.  We can provide insights into:

• Current market prices for coppice products.

• Opportunities for added value through processing and crafting.

• How to balance productivity with long-term woodland health.

Once restored, maintaining your woodland’s health and productivity requires a strategic approach. We’ll help you create a practical, long-term management plan that includes:

• Coppice Management Techniques: Advice on optimal stocking densities and light levels to encourage healthy regrowth.

• Good Woodland Housekeeping: Techniques for maintaining woodland infrastructure, managing access, and minimising disease risks.

Woodlands face threats from pests, diseases, and changing environmental conditions. We provide strategies to:

• Identify and monitor potential threats.

• Implement preventative measures to protect young shoots and mature trees.

• Foster a balanced ecosystem that naturally reduces pest impacts.
