about us

Welcome to Woodwose Coppice, a community interest company dedicated to the restoration and sustainable management of Kent's neglected woodlands.

Our Mission

At Woodwose Coppice, we are committed to:

  • Promoting Biodiversity: By coppicing neglected woodlands, we create diverse habitats that support a wide range of flora and fauna. This sustainable method encourages the growth of native species, providing a sanctuary for wildlife and enhancing the natural beauty of our woodlands.
  • Restoring Ecosystems: Coppicing rejuvenates woodlands, ensuring they remain healthy and resilient. This ancient practice helps to manage woodland growth, prevents overgrowth, and maintains open areas that are crucial for various species.
  • Engaging the Community: We believe in the power of community involvement. Our projects provide opportunities for local residents to learn about woodland management, participate in conservation activities, and reconnect with nature. By working together, we foster a sense of stewardship and pride in our natural environment.
  • Sustainable Practices: Our approach is rooted in sustainability. We ensure that our coppicing activities are environmentally responsible, promoting long-term health and productivity of woodlands without compromising their ecological integrity.

What We Do

Woodwose Coppice undertakes a variety of activities aimed at the sustainable management and restoration of woodlands:

  • Coppicing: Through regular and selective cutting of trees and shrubs, we stimulate growth and maintain the woodland’s ecological balance.
  • Education and Workshops: We offer educational programs and hands-on workshops to teach the community about the importance of woodland management and biodiversity.
  • Wildlife Monitoring: Our team conducts regular surveys to monitor the health of woodland ecosystems and the species that inhabit them.
  • Volunteer Opportunities: We provide numerous opportunities for volunteers to get involved in our projects, learn new skills, and contribute to the conservation of local woodlands.
