Training Opportunities – COPPICE/UNDERWOOD/GREENWOOD COURSES
One of the first steps into coppicing and woodland management can be by attending a course and then using the knowledge and skills gained.

Volunteering
Practical experience can be gained by volunteering with the local wildlife trust.
The Culture, Communities and Rural Affairs county or local council departments may have country parks and nature reserves where help is needed.
Local woods may have volunteer groups that would welcome extra pairs of hands.
Working with a coppice worker
Local coppice groups or the national site Coppice Products
might be the way to get in touch with someone working in the area.
