At this work party five of us worked from 10am to about 3:30pm in the light drizzle. Eddy worked with the chain saw and coppiced hazel stools. The rest of us worked on smaller timber with hand tools. Any brash was tidied into racks which will form a wildlife habitat as it decomposes. The cut down stool stumps were covered in brash to prevent deer browsing any new growth in the spring.
