Dramatic effect of coppicing in Blunts Wood.

This picture was taken at the end of May in Blunts Wood, where "The Friends of Blunts Wood..." had coppiced the Hazel bushes and stacked the trunks. Click on the picture to expand. It has not been enhanced by software. Opening the canopy of mature hazels has created a shaft of sunlight to the forest floor that is quite dramatic and will allow other woodland plants to flourish.

Click this link for dates when YOU could join "The Friends...." for a fun-filled morning with Terry and his merry band. Additional hands are really welcomed!
