Coppicing opportunity this November!

13 Nov 2024

We are offering two reduced-rate places (£50) to non-members on our upcoming Introduction to Coppicing course on 18th November. This is the ideal opportunity for anyone wanting to enter the coppicing industry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 You will learn:

How to mark-out the coppice into appropriate sections 
Techniques for safely felling small diameter trees with hand-tools 
How to best approach the coppice and lay-out the harvest ready for processing 
How to select and ‘layer’ trees to ‘stock-up’ the copse 
How to manage brash, pests and disease in the woodland 

If you would like to be considered, please submit a 200 word application detailing your reasons for wanting to be considered i.e. any difficult circumstances you are currently facing, your exposure to or experience with coppice woodland, and what you intend to do after completing the course. Applications should be emailed to: [email protected]

The two successful applicants will be notified by 5pm on Friday 15th Nov.
