Coppicing near Onion Corner 19.08.24
Our second week Coppicing at Onion Corner. Lots of protection is required to stop the young shoots being eaten by Muntjac.
So today building wigwams to protect new growth was needed. Some Hazel was high coppiced/ low pollarded cutting it above the browsing level of the deer.
This is done on some shoots to ensure survival of the Hazel. one find was the skull of a small deer complete with horns.
