National Beanpole Week 19th -27th April 2008
Support your local woods: use coppiced hazel beanpoles to support your beans this year!
The area of coppice in the UK has fallen dramatically since the 1950s and we need to bring these woods back into management Hazel coppice provides valuable habitat for animals such as the dormouse, nightingales, warblers and many more species Coppicing is a traditional and sustainable form of woodland management that ensures a continuous supply of useful products Hazel beanpoles provide an attractive and effective addition to your garden.
