Knott Wood Coppicers, the sister company of Treesponsibility, and The Calder Food Hub are co-hosting a day of coppicing in and around Hebden Bridge on Saturday the 28th November. The day will include workshops on the theory of coppicing and a large practical element. Participants will have the chance to cut hazel, willows and hopefully some ash from different sites in the region, using bow saws, bill hooks and loppers. The full schedule is still being decided upon. Cost will be £20. For further details, or to book a place, please call Kath on 01422 846540.
