Nice to crack on with a bit of woven fencing in the sun! V pleased with how these turned out. Great to use the material through to the finished product.

We've got one more big fence job to get on with and hopefully we'll have some material left over for a hurdle or two.

Oh my gosh, it's been a busy winter. We've not had a chance to keep up with the socials. Conditions have been tough but now with the weather improving things will get easier.

We've got a volunteer day at Castle Hills next Wednesday at Castle Hills. We will have competitions for the most cute Hazel flowers! Get in touch if you're interested.

We had a great time at the National Coppice Federa

We had a great time at the National Coppice Federation AGM over in Silverdale. 6 of our members, one volunteer and some family including 3 month old Ada came along for craft demonstrations and workshops, discussions on coppicing businesses and the AGM. Thanks to CANWA for hosting the event. It was lovely to connect with others in our small industry and share time (and delicious food) together.

If you're visiting Meanwood park, Gledhow valley wood, Post hill wood or Hetchel you may see that we've been busy installing fascines.

Fascines are great for so many reasons, though we've installed them here to combat soil erosion and to help stop silt entering our water ways, which will in turn combat flooding.

A shout out to all Friends of Groups that have helped. Special thanks to @andel_ltd and @thetreecouncil for their continued support in delivering this project.

Where has all the undergrowth gone!? We've installed bundles of brash wood called fascines on the steep woodland slopes at Meanwood park. Fascines combat erosion and flooding by slowing rain water run off, trapping sediment and provides a habitat for seeds to take hold.

Big thanks to David Preston, the friends of meanwood park group, @andel_ltd
and @thetreecouncil for supporting the project.

This season has been extra great because we've been cutting coups that we previously coppiced 9 years ago!

The first few images are from Hetchel 2013 showing our layering process and the first few months of growth. The last few are from the same coup this season, where you can make out the growth from the layers.

@leedswoodcraft even made a special trip over! Was great to see you James!
