Willow and Hazel Coppicing at Wakelyns
Our willow and hazel tree lines are coppiced on a short cycle (3 and 7 years respectively) to produce lengths which are used for fencing, for thatching, for hedge laying and for weaving, with what is left being chipped as fuel for the biomass boiler which heats the Wakelyns farmhouse and provides our hot water. Here are some pictures.
