Coppicing at Leigh Woods, Bristol

27 January 2002

For this trip the normal minibus trawl of Bristol was replaced by a pleasant stroll over the suspension bridge. It rained most of the day, but spirits remained high (especially at lunch time when we retreated to the reserve office!). As well as the customary felling of small trees there was also some organised processing of the timber and some optimistic planting of bent-over branches!

Here's an email from the National Trust at Leigh Woods:

Sue & Beth
could you thank your group from their amazing efforts at Leigh Woods. The group did an excellent job of coppicing for us. I hope that not to many of them are still suffering from the after effects of drowning.
Could you let us have contact details for next years president of BUCG, it would be great if we could arrange another task or two next year.

Bill and Cath
