We visited Torry Hill Chestnut Fencing - a 5th gen family business in Kent, to film our next episode on #coppicing. By buying and expanding the business they helped to keep coppicing alive in the region after the pulp market collapsed, showing the value of #traditionalskills

The first step of #ancientwoodlandrestoration is to halt further decline by removing the threats to the health and natural diversity of the #Woodlands, supporting it's #NaturalRegeneration.

Learn more about these amazing #forests and how to restore them in our latest film youtu.be/AWgtMwWCCBA?...

At last month’s #ifnotnowthenwhen Rewilding Conference, Charly premiered a 10‑minute version of our film on #restoringancientwoodlands. It was met with some great really feedback 🌳🎬

Coming soon to our channel, a new film on #coppicing now in the works.

The 3 stages of #ancientwoodlandrestoration are to halt further decline, transform back to #nativewoodland and to maximise #ecological integrity. Mick Bracken (Woodland Trust) explains in all these stages it is #light that is the most important factor.

🌲What is #ancientwoodland? Land that has been continuously wooded for at least 400 years, during the mid 20th century, nearly half of them were felled and replanted mostly with fast-growing #timber species. Now these precious #Ecosystems are small and fragmented and cover less than 3% of UK land. 🌳

Our film-maker Charly lived at Coed Hills for some years and is excited to be back this weekend for #Coedffest to celebrate and share films including the newly released “Ancient Woodland Restoration - The Story of Light and Life” along with two others from the WFTT series, and Q&A afterwards.

Oceanic Rainforests. Millook on the North Cornish coast is a prime example of why we need to protect and restore these rare #ecosystems. #TemperateRainforest #Conservation
