The Hampshire Coppice Craftsmens Group

"Putting Life into your Landscape"

Although this has now pased it is hoped that The National beabpole week will become a yearly event.

The aim of this event is to promote the use of Coppice products in Gardens and allotments. Many people use Bamboo to support their beans instead of using locally grown coppice products. By buying locally grown Coppice products you can both reduce your carbon foot print and help to manage local woodland.

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 other less glamorous but equally important 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.

To help you find your local coppice worker we have produced a database of Coppice group members throughout Hampshire; although not specifically listed most will supply pea & bean sticks. look here
