The volunteers continued the coppicing of Hazel near “Onion Corner” with a smaller than usual group today.
Coppicing had not been carried out for many years so a lot of growth had become thick branches leaning over or even horizontal.
After cutting these down and forming log piles and brash heaps, for insects and small mammals, a wigwam of branches was formed around the coppice to deter deer from eating the new shoots.
Hard work, but a job well done for the future longevity of the Hazel.
