This is a unique opportunity to participate in the development of a new expression of an ancient forestry system with lots of potential to help support and manifest homestead fuel and craft wood security on a small scale.
Another word for coppice how to#
We'll spend the day felling polewood, limbing the produce, exploring potential value-adding opportunities, thinking about and discussing the design and layout of coppice systems, learning how to use a number of different traditional tools and techniques and have an opportunity to view the workshop of Dave Sawyer, master windsor chairmaker.
During this daylong workshop we'll begin to implement a management plan for a 7 year, rotational coppice woodlot, converting an existing 15 or so year old stand of red maple into a multi-purpose, polewood-producing forest stand. Join Mark Krawczyk (co-author of the forthcoming Coppice Agroforestry manual) and siblings Annie and George Sawyer at the beautiful Sawyer homestead in Woodbury, VT for a free, hands-on coppice conversion workshop Saturday February 25th. With free public talk to follow from 6-7:30 at All Together Now - 170 Cherry Tree Hill Road in East Montpelier The Sawyer Homestead, 556 King Pond Road, Woodbury Vermont Hands-on Coppice Establishment and Conversion Workshop - Free! Just wanted to spread the word about this upcoming event that may be of interest.
