Coppicing and coppice crafts workshop
Date: Saturday 29th Oct
Time: 9.30-5pm
Address: Asham wood SSSI, Downhead, East Mendip
To celebrate National Coppicing Day, the Somerset Wildlife Trust will be hosting a coppicing workshop at Asham wood, Mendip’s largest ancient semi-natural woodland, with generous support from the owners of the site, Heidelberg Materials UK.
Training will be provided in coppicing techniques, grading materials and we will also look at coppicing products and crafts. The day will be led by a professional woodsman and experienced teacher, Tim Gatfield. If you own some woodland, know someone who does, or are interested in joining in on a coppicing volunteer day with SWT, come out to the woods and brush up on your skills in this ancient technique.
The event is free but booking is essential. To book a place please email us at: lila.morris@somersetwildlife.org or phone us on 01823 652474.
