Sunday - 29th January - Work Morning
More than a dozen volunteers met up, on a fresh but dry Sunday morning to learn about and try coppicing the hazel clumps at the north end of Ridge Wood.
These low cut stumps, or stools, will regenerate in the spring and by opening up the woodland canopy it will also allow the area to be recolonized by ground flora and improve the biodiversity.
In addition, the cut trunks and branches are put to good use as dead-hedging material providing ideal nesting habitat for wrens etc. See below.
