Coppice, Pollard and Hedge

Coppice, Pollard and Hedge techniques are ancient traditions of regenerative agriculture, forestry and cottage industry.
Humanity has millennia of experience cultivating and sustainably harvesting woody plants for energy, fencing, poles, fodder, building materials, cottage industry, transportation, fishing, and other basic needs. The tremendous potential and productivity of these traditions have all but been forgotten, but are making a resurgence. This workshop is an introduction to some practices you might integrate into your homesteading to build self-reliance and rustic beauty in our post-cheap-fossil-fuel world.

This winter presenter Steve Diamond attended a workshop on these practices hosted by Steve Gabriel (author of "Silvopasture") and Mark Krawczyk (author of "Coppice Agroforestry"). This presentation and a later in-person workshop is built on what he learned in that workshop, from those books and from years of his own experimentation with these techniques.
