I am interested in reviving coppicing as a sustainable way of creating a source of firewood. Areas of coppice can also be very beneficial to wildlife. This experiment features a Sycamore (not a species we will be planting) which had last been coppiced or cut back about 20 years ago.
Following a small felling operation we had 2 tons of good firewood to dry out for next year. If we let this sycamore grow back we could probably harvest more firewood from it in about 10 years.
