What to do next?

• Map and measure area of coppice to establish coups
  

• Start coppicing this winter (2011/12) - Coup A, especially corner where triangle field meets the top orchard, in need of coppicing before limbs get too big.

• Continue renovating the coppice by:

1. Lifting the crowns of the standard trees (I.e. chopping off the lower branches of some of the oaks) to let light down to woodland floor
2. Planting new trees in gaps
3. Reducing the bracken in the woods during it's growing season (roughly May to September) by pulling and removing so light gets to woodland floor and encourages other species to grow

• Start a coppice cycle to produce enough wood for:

1. one charcoal heap per year for Living History
2. on going projects, e.g. new and repairs to wattle, bean sticks for the garden, etc.
