Coppice Club

In 2023 we started Coppice Club. The club is about reconnecting people with woodland through traditional coppicing. Working by hand in hornbeam coppice, members use axes and hand saws to learn practical woodcraft skills, spend time together outdoors, and take part in a living tradition that has shaped British woodlands for centuries.

Coppice Club is rooted in learning by doing, building confidence with hand tools, understanding trees and woodland cycles, and rediscovering historic ways of working with wood. Through careful, small‑scale coppicing, the club supports habitat diversity while producing firewood and charcoal to enjoy at the end of the process.
