Want to know more about woodland habitat restoration? Working Woodlands Cornwall CIC are hosting an exploration into coppicing and the role sustainable management plays in bringing woods to life!
Devichoys Wood is an ancient, semi-natural woodland (sessile oak with hazel, holly and rowan understory) with a long history of coppicing and charcoal burning. Active management appears to have ceased around 1950 resulting in the current neglected state of the wood. Since 2018, Working Woodlands Cornwall have been restoring Devichoys to a productive coppice that is a valuable asset to the local community and wildlife biodiversity. This event is a great opportunity to get an insight into our work and explore a unique example of a working Cornish woodland.
The guided walk is approx 1.5miles long, stopping at various points to explain the different types of woodland management taking place, the benefits these bring for wildlife and people, and how management helps tackle current challenges such as tree diseases and climate change.
