Coppicing Galore

Tuesday, February 12th 2019

It has been another full on day of coppicing in Coupe 5. It was a mild dry day, which made it perfect to stump treat many of the Birch trees. We were very grateful to have help from the Dales School who checked the ponies for us, as well as feed the ducks and brush some of the bridges off. It was great to have Foundation back too, who helped hugely with clearing up all the brash. 

As usual, Brian the fire master kept a close eye on the fire, and was in charge of cooking the potatoes!

Lots of Willow was to be coppiced, which produced mountains of brash. 

Sophie and Peter who were treating the Birch were closely followed by Eddie, who was collecting the short stumps for some of our volunteers to take home for firewood. 

It looks like Sophie and Ian hadn't checked that morning who would be wearing what… How embrassing to turn up in the same outfit!
