Sweet Chestnut Coppicing
Coppicing chestnut is a traditional practice producing durable fencing - stakes, strainers and rails - that do not need chemical preservatives due to its natural durability.
The work is a craft suited to hand cutters. Sites are worked from October to April when the trees are not in leaf. Powell Forestry conducts an annual cutting programme on several woodlands throughout southeast England.
