Coppicing and coppiced products in the Malvern and Teme valley area
There are many local woodlands, (in fact, the vast majority) that are not managed at all or have no formal Management Plan in place. We want to inspire woodland owners who have neglected or under-managed woodlands to start the long but rewarding process of coppice management. The aim is to give you the opportunity to undertake coppice training on one of our coppicing courses, or to support local coppicing by commissioning one of our rustic structures or purchasing our coppiced products. I have been coppicing for 12 years now, having started at Ravenshill woodland reserve in 2000 working as part of the Ravenshill volunteer group, I am a member of the Small Woods Association, Small Woodland Owners Group and Royal Forestry Society. I am in the process of producing a guide to coppicing for woodland owners and others interested in gaining more knowledge about this country craft. Our courses take place at Ravenshill Woodland Reserve, Alfrick, Worcestershire, which is a 50 acre privately owned nature reserve, which Phil has been coppicing since 1999 and has a patchwork of diverse habitat including many indicator species of ancient semi-natural woodland. It has both deciduous and various conifer species.
