Picture in your mind, your ideal woodland landscape. Perhaps there are loose grasses and wildflowers that slowly morph into small, multi-stemmed trees. Open canopies, allowing a gentle breeze and sunlight to flow through. It's the kind of space that might evoke folkloric fairy gatherings or perhaps the ultimate sacred grove where one might encounter mythological beings.
So much YAS! We definitely have more conifers here on the West Coast, however there’s also maples alders, etc. and I think the forest industry eventually needs to move towards this. But the practice has just been to cut cut cut and ship ship ship overseas. I first learned about the practice of coppicing through learning about basketry, and was shocked to learn how old some coppiced trees could live to be. Essentially immortal.
We have a few trees in our garden we are planning to coppice for firewood, but you've given me a few ideas for how I can use it fir landscaping, too. And how different they can all look! Thank you.
