About the event

What is Coppicing?

Coppicing occurs during the dormant season, generally late September to early March. The process involves cutting the tree close to the ground on a regular cycle to encourage regrowth from dormant buds at the base of the stool (tree stump). This regrowth creates fast growing stands of dense multi-stemmed trees.

If you are interested in joining a volunteer day with Somerset Wildlife Trust, come and join us in the woods and brush up on your skills in this ancient technique.
