Old coppice

As with so many others, the old coppice, once the scene of seasonal activity, traditional practices and craft production, lays in decline, abandoned and forgotten. Its products no longer required as new materials and techniques have overtaken the old ways, seen now as redundant. How far wrong we have gone, so separated from nature and her cycles. She once provided all we required and we were grateful to her.  No longer though. They call it progress I believe?
