Willow Management and Coppicing

Come an join us for a Free Willow Management and Coppicing Day based on our Wetland Ecosystem Treatment (WET) System at Denmark Farm, as part of our Gwaith Dros Natur – your time for nature project.

 

Our WET System has specially designed and constructed ponds and earth banks, densely planted with wetland trees and marginal plants.  As wastewater flows through, it is both purified by microbiological action and transpired by growing plants.  In the process, a beautiful, species-rich wildlife habitat is created, including a willow resource that can be used for basketry, hurdles, garden features or fuel, depending on the coppice cycle. 

 

The day will include:-
