Keepers Coppicing is a small woodland based business on the edge of Ashdown Forest, bordering the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We offer all kinds of services from the bespoke construction of rose arbors and trellis frames to hedge restoration work and coppice regeneration. Wherever possible we like to work locally using natural materials taken from our coppiced woodland. Tailoring our services like this helps us in our aim of restoring the woodland to a working coppice. Find out more about the woodland, why we coppice it, and why this is such a good thing.
This year we have been cutting sweet chestnut which is not only a beautiful wood to look at, but very durable and long lasting. It's high tannin content makes it an excellent material for outdoor furniture and and other products needing to withstand the weather.
