What is coppicing and why is it important? - Suffolk Wildlife Trust

A short film from Suffolk Wildlife Trust about the importance of coppicing at Bradfield Woods Nature Reserve, one of Britain's finest ancient woodlands.

Bradfield Woods has been traditionally coppiced for over 800 years. At Suffolk Wildlife Trust, we maintain this sustainable management technique to protect the unique woodland habitats that are vital for small mammals, birds, wildflowers, fungi, and trees.

To find out more about Bradfield Woods, including visitor information and species sightings, please visit our website: www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org/bradfieldwoods

As a result of coppicing at Bradfield Woods, we have a range of traditional coppice products available to purchase from the reserve, with every penny going back into our work protecting and restoring wildlife: www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org/coppice-products

Featuring Alex Lack, Woodlands Warden at Suffolk Wildlife Trust.
Filmed and edited by John Collins.
