Each winter we coppice an area of the hazel woodland so that sunlight can reach the woodland floor and encourage new growth, replicating how woodlands were managed to provide firewood, timber and fencing materials. This method gives other plants and flowers that support a variety of rare animals and insects the chance to grow. During the summer months we concentrate on improving access to the woodlands, by building steps and installing boardwalks. This helps make the wood more accessible for less able users and people with pushchairs to access the woods throughout the year.
