Newman's Hill Wood, Buckinghamshire

Benhams Lane passes through a coppice

Uploader's Comments

Coppices are formed by severely pruning hardwood tree species to just above ground level and allowing vigorous young shoots to proliferate from the 'stool'. The resultant wood can be uses as pea & bean sticks in the vegetable garden or for rural crafts such as hurdle making.
