Coppicing
Definition
A traditional woodland management technique of cutting deciduous trees or shrubs to near ground level (the stool) on a regular rotation, stimulating vigorous regrowth of multiple new stems. Coppiced trees live far longer than uncoppiced ones; the system has been used for millennia for wood fuel and poles.
