Yup.
We own 18 (though will be 48 soon) acres of woodland in Cheshire Its hazel coppice surrounded by some older beeches and limes.
We get most of our firewood off it, and the trees in the surounding fields (we have an agreement with the land owner) provides the rest. We also have 7 very happy and fat Glouster Old Spots running around living off the habitat, apart from some winter supliments, which we turn into bacon when they are ready. I also shoot within the wood - I put down 350 pheasants and 300 partridge this year. I put down corn to bring in ducks onto a flight pond we dug and all that adds to the "truely" wild game - Rabbits, Canada Geese, Pidgeon, Squirrals etc. Just as an aside, last year I out down the same numbers of game and only shot 142 pheasants, 78 partridge and 69 mallard. Combining this with the pigs, and the large amounts of venison we "aquire" (lots of deer stalking all around the country) we buy very little meat, though much of the pheasants and that are given away to friends.
Its only been "fully" coppiced once since we have owned it, and that was in 1996, so I think we will coppice again in 2011/2012. The firewood we get is either fallen wood, dead standers or a tree that needs felling (only done that 3 times I think).
Aswell as releasing the birds, putting down feed and predator control we also leave piles of "stacked" brances and things as habitat for beetles and other little beasties (: And have put up a fair few bird boxes too. I started doing the consevation work because after all the pleasure the wood has given me I think it only fair to give something back. I also planted some cherry trees a few years ago and they are well worth having... mmmmm cherry pie:eating:
I use a quad for most everything, but we recently bought a Kubota RTV jobbie a while back and that is proving to be a real asset to us.
No idea how much it cost though, sorry!
I would say go for it!
