Volunteers will be coppicing. Coppicing is a widespread and traditional form of woodland management where trees or shrubs are repeatedly cut at the base, creating a coppice stool, which allows them to regrow stronger and healthier. It's a regenerative cycle that's been in use for hundreds of years!
Tools and gloves are provided. No experience is needed. Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and strong shoes or boots that you don't mind getting a little muddy. Holly has prickly leaves, so wear old clothes that fully cover your arms, legs and ankles. Depending on the weather, you may want to bring a second pair of socks to keep warm in the wellies.
Volunteers can borrow wellies and raincoats from Warwick Volunteers.
Light snacks will be provided. You're very welcome to bring additional snacks and bottled water. Come with your own reusable cups!
