    Twickenham Rough - Glade Clearance & Coppicing

    With Richmond Weekday Projects

    At Twickenham Rough

    Activity description

    We will be cutting and digging up bramble that is encroaching on the glades in Twickenham Rough. This helps to maintain biodiversity and keeps these habitats open. We will also be working to coppice dominant species, such as Holm oak, in the woodland. To coppice, is to fell a tree/sapling at its base (or 'stool') which promotes growth of further shoots. The result is multi-stemmed bushier growth. Coppicing is a traditional form of woodland management, with its use dating back to the Stone Age. Coppicing was originally used to ensure source of firewood and timber. Contemporarily, coppicing is primarily used to improve the health and biodiversity of woodland areas.
