What next for nearly 2,500 ha of ash dominated woods in @ChilternsAONB now that ash dieback is starting to affect the trees? @ForestryComm @royal_forestry @forestsandwood @lovesmallwoods

[Chiltern Woods @ChilternWoods]

This is a good summary of coppicing, which is now rare in the #Chilterns It was the traditional way of managing many ancient woods to produce a regular supply of wood for fuel and many other uses.
