The National Coppice Federation has grown out of the wish for regional coppice groups to unite under one banner.

Smoke from the charcoal kiln drifting through ash in the community woodland - a form of quiet beauty.

@ncfeduk We are now a members of the National Coppice Federation bringing an old coppice area used during industrial times in Aberdare back to working life for #biodiversity and fuel for our #SustainableWelshWoodlandCharcoal company #TreeCharterGroup #Cooperative @PyCCommunity

It is grey squirrel bark stripping season. Fresh bark stripped from young willow this week. What damage have you spotted? Case studies counting the cost of squirrel damage in a small woodland https://t.co/gm0IEMxfe4 and in oak plantation https://t.co/Ayajm7TybX

Something for Coppice workers, new and old, to look into @lovesmallwoods @lateraltruth @heritage_crafts @WorcsWT @WoodlandTrust

[Andrew Heald @andyheald]

Good opportunity to learn more about farm woodland #agroforestry

IMPORTANT NEWS: PLEASE RT
@DefraGovUK has confirmed that "those involved in the supply chain of wood for key goods (including, but not limited to pallets, heating, packaging, tissue paper, timber harvesting, sawmills) should be considered key workers."

The work hasn’t changed much over the years but I love looking through ‘Woodland Crafts in Britain’ by H.L.Edlin so I can appreciate modern machinery.

@ncfeduk good gay today representing Ncfed and Sussex & Surrey coppice group at #palmstead plant day promoting the coppice industry

[Copsework @copseworker]

It’s great to be cutting another coupe and having time to make spiling rods, faggots and spar gads as I go. No mess to tidy up later.

@lovesmallwoods @CoppiceJT @Wood_n_Water @ncfeduk @SteveScottFC @KeithJonesFC @SayitwithWood @scotwoodlands @WoodlandHerita1 @SylvaFoundation Good demonstration of the value of woodland management - Coppice stools certainly regrow quickly - Arguably the main carbon benefit comes from substituting carbon intensive products with renewable forest products

@lovesmallwoods @CoppiceJT @andyheald @ncfeduk @SteveScottFC @KeithJonesFC @SayitwithWood @scotwoodlands @WoodlandHerita1 @SylvaFoundation How trees capture (and release) carbon, directly or indirectly, is a complex story. I think coppice management is likely to increase C sequestration compared to other or no management, similarly to how grasslands sequestrate more C when mob-grazed

[Ben C Howard @Hydro_Howard]

@lovesmallwoods @CoppiceJT @andyheald @ncfeduk @SteveScottFC @KeithJonesFC @SayitwithWood @scotwoodlands @WoodlandHerita1 @SylvaFoundation I’m writing a short review on the role trees can play in the C cycle, how they capture and release GHGs and how management can effect this. Should be out in the spring edition of the @lovesmallwoods magazine

The general public planting trees in their gardens will not lead to net zero. Let’s stop that myth right now. Commercial large scale planting is required and this will cost money and will require infrastructure. https://t.co/pfdKf2qKyW

It was lovely to visit Rougham Estate during the week. There’s been a lot happening! Proper woodland management... the rain has made things slightly tricky. #woodland #tree #Sustainability #copice

Met some really cool and talented people today at the Bodger’s Ball at Wimpole. Can’t wait to catch up with them again in the future...
