Sorry to have left it so long in writting to you all but I have been very busy in the woods .A few days ago I had an invitation to help with some coppicing ,the wood was last worked some sixty years ago and is rather overgrown with all manner of trees ,some oaks had been planted out over the years but the these had crowded out the hazel stools and forced them to reach for light and grow enormous in girth and length ,these were felled and the wood selected for various products such as bean sticks,rose arches, pea sticks and all types of woodland crafts from trugs to fire wood.This felling will enable the hazel to regenerate and be more productive in years to come . The oaks will be selectivly felled to remove weak and damaged trees to allow the hazel stools to mature over the next ten years

Hi David
Nice to see you blogging again. Woodland adventure sounds great and a job well done. Do you think with the hazel regenerating, that eventually dormice might come to stay? And possibly bluebells, or are they there already?
