Woodland management

Date: 2003 Description: Felling in a woodland of mixed conifers and native broadleaves will result in the death of the conifers and the regrowth of the natives. The beauty of many of our native trees is that cutting them off near ground level does not kill them but they resprout strongly from the base. The repeated cutting of this regrowth is called coppicing. Photographed by National Trust, Shropshire.
