Abstract
Coppicing has been practised since medieval times to produce small round-wood for fencing, fuel, etc. (Chapter 2). More recently coppice management has been valued for its conservation benefits in terms of both generally increasing structural diversity of woodlands and species diversity, and supporting specific species groups, such as butterflies (Chapter 13) and birds (Chapter 9).
