Love it, feels like a special feature on Blue Peter

This is brilliant. Not only the coppicing and production of useful goods for local gardeners, but also the fact that a conservation group see the value of it.

I don't know how I missed this when you posted it. Great little video.

Beautiful informative video! I'm growing lots of hazel from seed this year for our small tree nursery. Hopefully, in a few years, we'll also coppice some of them.

Really interesting. I never knew the benefits of coppicing and that Hazel has so many uses.

9:54 charcoal Alex! That kiln has been on my land since the begin of the year, just haven't had the energy to do a burn. Looking forward to the charcoal making video.

Thank you! Interesting to see woodland management from an English perspective. Lovely music.

Great episode, I met Mike last year and he kindly gave us some Willow cuttings for our garden. I also spotted Geoff Hannis lurking in the back this video as well 😂. Good company Rob

Me and Mike have the same style billhook. His looked like a Norfolk which is the same as mine, fantastic billhook. Thank you for the video, very informative and fun! I’ve actually just emailed Mike about some work as he’s very local to me and it’s hard to find people who do this sort of stuff!

Intriguing. Would it be possible to combine coppicing of hazel with nut harvest? (or will the hazel take too long time to regrow and make nuts)

@UpTheIrons51510 5 месяцев назад

It can be combined but this management is not for nut harvest - it’s for limb biomass. If you look at hazelnut farms, the trees are usually pruned & managed like a fruit tree; ie 1 trunk, small flaring crown, fairly dense plantings, irrigated, etc. The nuts grow near the ends of the stems & when they’re allowed a natural regrowth from coppice, the majority of the nuts are simply inaccessible.

@christopherhinton6456 2 месяца назад

a chainsaw is not traditional.

@joshfoster9832 2 месяца назад

The thing about it is, 90% of the coppice is now held by the state and their subsidiaries (national trust, forestry commission, councils, etc). These people are incredibly elitist and the result of centuries of enclosures and repression of rural commoners (not today's false and misleadingly narrow definition, everyone who isn't landed nobility). They will now permission no new woodsmen to work the abandon coppice. They want the common people dispossessed of the land entirely.

@robsdiscovery 2 месяца назад

Sadly, I agree. The question is, what shall we do about it?
