About this Event

Event Description:

This will be a great training opportunity to participate in traditional coppicing, (bringing an area back into rotational coppice) using hand tools and learn about different types of heritage crafts (spoon carving, peg, hurdle and charcoal making, firewood, hedgerow stakes, traditional fencing, sweeping brushes, etc), and how coppicing benefits flora and fauna species on sites in Leeds. Meet CMA members, Leeds City Council, Countryside Rangers and estate staff who look after the site. There is plenty of parking, near to the area where we will be coppicing.

Background Information:

Temple Newsam is over 1,000 acres of parkland, woodland, gardens, lakes, buildings and more, with a recorded history stretching back to the Domesday Book in the 11th Century. It’s been owned by the Templars, used as farmland, had a Tudor mansion built (and remodelled), now a museum.

Has been landscaped by England’s greatest gardener, capability brown, inspired books and television, been turned into a coal mine, hosted sporting events, music festivals and weddings, and continues to be used by the people of Leeds to this day for recreation.

The estate also contains a large working farm and one of the largest, rare breed centres in Europe. All animals at Home Farm are native to the UK and most are classed as rare breeds by the Rare Breed Survival Trust. Farm staff are passionate about local farming, its links to heritage, and how staff preserve the industry for future generations.

Please bring snacks, packed lunch, and warm/cold drink.

This event is kindly organised by the CMA's Yorkshire and Humberside Representative in partnership with Pioneer Habitats.
