:16:47. > :16:48.in Devon, ancient woodland Volunteers on Dartmoor are bringing
:16:49. > :16:52.a derelict coppice back into use. They're using the wood to make
:16:53. > :16:54.items such as beanpoles - It's a process that
:16:55. > :16:57.takes time and patience, but as Clare Woodling found out,
:16:58. > :17:00.it could be good for High-tech doesn't come into it,
:17:01. > :17:03.but this hands-on approach is still a way to make
:17:04. > :17:05.a living in 2017. So say the coppicers
:17:06. > :17:08.here in Dartmoor. They are bringing these hazel
:17:09. > :17:11.trees back into use. My dream for this site is for it
:17:12. > :17:14.to be a fully working coppice, back to how it would have been
:17:15. > :17:17.hundreds of years ago when people used it for all the various things
:17:18. > :17:21.they wanted to make out of hazel, and the skills that they used,
:17:22. > :17:23.the traditional skills that actually are not as much appreciated
:17:24. > :17:26.as they used to be. Coppicing involves cutting
:17:27. > :17:31.a mature tree to the ground. The remaining stool
:17:32. > :17:34.grows small stems. These are harvested to make pea
:17:35. > :17:38.sticks, bean poles, fencing hurdles At the moment, many of these
:17:39. > :17:43.things are imported. Just take a pea stick or a beanpole,
:17:44. > :17:46.you go and look at an allotment site, there will be hundreds
:17:47. > :17:48.and hundreds of bamboo poles. They may have come all

:17:54. > :17:56.locally made, locally produced, The coppice is divided into groups,
:17:57. > :18:03.which are cut back in rotation. This rod of hazel is exactly
:18:04. > :18:06.what the coppicers are looking for. It's long and straight
:18:07. > :18:08.and will clean easily to make spars and fencing
:18:09. > :18:14.and other things, too. So this is a quarter of a rod
:18:15. > :18:20.of hazel and we've now split it and now I just need to loosen
:18:21. > :18:23.the fibres and then give it a twist as a hairpin
:18:24. > :18:26.and now we've got a spar. It's what the thatcher drives
:18:27. > :18:34.into the roof material. The not-for-profit group

:18:44. > :18:47.that pays is more likely to be a woodland that stays
:18:48. > :18:49.because if a landowner has a piece of woodland they might just chop
:18:50. > :18:52.it down for firewood. Whereas if you have a really
