  1. I have just come across this thread. Having talked to some senior folks here on west coast of Scotland the idea of mini-pollarding or copparding is not new, especially where roe deer are a continual problem and one cannot fence for lots of different reasons. I tried this first three years ago having had deer troubles and with careful monitoring have found an optimum grazing height. Having surveyed the ancient coppice wood for a year there seemed to be good evidence of copparding. I po-poed it at first but it seems to work! I will have to wait and see how long the roads are after the cycle but the hazel seems to be pretty happy. It is very slow growing here so we wait to see how long the cycles will have to be. I came across this recently Coppice - Mini Pollard So I am still waiting to sing out too loud just yet!
  2. Not sure if this is the right place to put this but here goes: I am after a charcoal burners kiln. If anybody has one for sale please let me know. I am based on west coast of Scotland but am happy to travel. Thanks and slainte!
