Well. where do I start ?

WAV is from the county of Kent https://www.bing.com/search?pglt=299&q=kent+england+images&cvid=1d45b283e1e1405bbb1b0ba49eec58fc&gs_lcrp=EgRlZGdlKgYIARBFGDsyCQgAEEUYOxj5BzIGCAEQRRg7MgYIAhAAGEAyBggDEC4YQDIGCAQQRRg9MgYIBRBFGDwyBggGEEUYQTIGCAcQRRhBMgYICBBFGEHSAQg4NjQ2ajBqMagCALACAA&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=DCTS which is directly to the South East of London. For our overseas visitors, Kent is very ‘near to London’, but is VERY different from London. Fortunately, you can visit the county and still see its beautiful historic buildings and real countryside, without realising that it borders one of the wonderful capital cities of the world, London.

So, what is coppicing ? An technique undertaken in Kent and a few other SE counties singe Roman times – I think it best to refer you to wikipedia and Forest Research to give you very detailed information:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppicing

Here are many photographs of coppiced areas and the beautiful fencing that is made by undertaking it: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=where+do+they+coppice+in+the+world&qpvt=where+do+they+coppice+in+the+world&form=IQFRML&first=1

Coppicing is a special technique used by specially trained persons. Branches are cut back at special angles almost to the original tree stump, but the regrowth which then happens provides more control of the woodland. Coppicing is undertaken at regular intervals and from the WAV side of things, that being animals, the coppiced fencing techniques are used as borders around small fields (not huge endless areas as seen in some other nations) in the UK, which in turn then provide encouragement for lots of wildlife to live – including birds, badgers, foxes, rabbit and hares, deer and especially butterflies, moths and bees which are sadly in decline.

Coppicing is a dying trade performed by specialists. It retains beautiful woodland, whilst encouraging a huge range of wildlife animals. It needs encouragement to retain this technique – it must never be allowed to die out – Regards Mark.
