Join us to learn the traditional woodland management technique of coppicing. What is it? Why do we do it? What time of year is best?

Learn all this and more, along with identification of species of trees that can be coppiced and the best approach to encourage growth and healthy vegetation.

This free green skills training is very valuable for those who are interested in green sector jobs including woodland management, volunteering in green spaces or garden maintenance.
