| A large coppiced
ash stool is uncovered in the restoration cut. Stools like this may be several
centuries old and care will need to be exercised in coppicing this. Best
practice would be to cut just some of the stool initially with further cuts
when the coup is recoppiced in 7 and 14 years time. |

light and it is this that drives the biodiversity of the woodland. Here
wild garlic enjoys spring sunlight and responds with a powerful floral display. |

| Just six years
after the restoration cut, the hazel in this coup has enclosed a woodland
ride. |
