Coppicing and coppiced products in the Malvern and Teme valley area
This website has been created to describe the craft of coppicing and promote it's benefits to native woodland habitats.
This website is under development at present with an on-line shop selling coppicing tools and other useful implements coming shortly. In the meantime if you have problems with any of the links or appearance of the pages or would like prices on tools please contact me.
There are many local woodlands, (in fact the vast majority of local woodlands) that are not managed at all or have no management plan in place.
I want to inspire woodland owners who have neglected or under managed woodlands to start the long but rewarding process of coppice management.
The aim is to give you the opportunity to undertake coppice training on one of my coppicing courses or to support local coppicing by commissioning one of my rustic structures or purchasing my coppiced products.
I have been coppicing for 10 years now, having started at Ravenshill woodland reserve in 2000 working as part of the volunteer group, I am a founder member of the Malvern Hills Coppice Network which was set up in 2005 and am a member of the Small woods Association.
I am in the process of producing a guide to coppicing for woodland owners and others interested in gaining more knowledge about this country craft.
All pictures have been taken by myself in woodlands that I have worked.
All products pictured have been designed and built by me.
