Courses
Our courses take place at Ravenshill Woodland Reserve, Alfrick, and Park Wood, West Malvern. Ravenshill Woodland Reseve is a 50 acre privately owned nature reserve, which Phil has been coppicing since 1999 and has a patchwork of diverse habitat including many indicator species of ancient semi-natural woodland. It has both deciduous and various conifer species.
Park Wood is owned by Malvern Hills Trust, which I coppice under licence.
It is a SSSI woodland with in rotation hazel coppice underr Oak standards cut on an 8 year rotation.
