This is brilliant. Not only the coppicing and production of useful goods for local gardeners, but also the fact that a conservation group see the value of it.

Using a dead hedge for support to make a bramble thicket around the coppice might be an excellent idea as it is self regenerating, even after the dead hedge has rotted down.

Great episode, I met Mike last year and he kindly gave us some Willow cuttings for our garden. I also spotted Geoff Hannis lurking in the back this video as well 😂. Good company Rob

Me and Mike have the same style billhook. His looked like a Norfolk which is the same as mine, fantastic billhook. Thank you for the video, very informative and fun! I’ve actually just emailed Mike about some work as he’s very local to me and it’s hard to find people who do this sort of stuff!

Thank you for this omg i've been trying to write a wee book set in ye olden times lol and connection with nature etc, this has been abundantly useful to see how people might have used the woodland and what it would have looked like - the habitats part was especially useful!

Beautiful informative video! I'm growing lots of hazel from seed this year for our small tree nursery. Hopefully, in a few years, we'll also coppice some of them.

Intriguing. Would it be possible to combine coppicing of hazel with nut harvest? (or will the hazel take too long time to regrow and make nuts)
@UpTheIrons51510
@UpTheIrons51510 8 ай бұрын
It can be combined but this management is not for nut harvest - it’s for limb biomass. If you look at hazelnut farms, the trees are usually pruned & managed like a fruit tree; ie 1 trunk, small flaring crown, fairly dense plantings, irrigated, etc. The nuts grow near the ends of the stems & when they’re allowed a natural regrowth from coppice, the majority of the nuts are simply inaccessible.

The thing about it is, 90% of the coppice is now held by the state and their subsidiaries (national trust, forestry commission, councils, etc). These people are incredibly elitist and the result of centuries of enclosures and repression of rural commoners (not today's false and misleadingly narrow definition, everyone who isn't landed nobility). They will now permission no new woodsmen to work the abandon coppice. They want the common people dispossessed of the land entirely.
