Coppicing (717 words) |
 | Coppice woodlands are cut on rotation, normally from between 6 to 25 years (but 21 years for Norsey) and usually one part of the wood, called a coupe, is harvested each year. |
| Unfortunately, coppicing was severely affected, firstly by the adverse weather, which made ground conditions very difficult, and secondly by the restrictions caused by the Foot and Mouth epidemic. |
| One of the benefits of coppicing is the reappearance of plants that were shaded out by the heavy tree canopy or which found germination difficult or impossible because of the low light conditions. |
