Welcome to our 2025-2026 coppicing season!
It's been a few years since we’ve done much coppicing in Oxleas wood, and far far longer since there’s been a consistent rotation of coppicing across the wood.
We believe that coppicing will improve the biodiversity of the area, but we’d like to check and be sure. We’ve done a little survey work on the coupe, and what we can find there in late September.
