Episode 69: Joshua Lawson - Leeds Coppice Workers

"Leeds Coppice Workers is a workers co-operative commited to restoring and managing neglected and underused woodlands in the Leeds area.

We aim to create jobs in Leeds woodlands for our members and to promote the use of locally sourced woodland products within the Leeds area. We also aim to reintegrate local people to their woodlands, show how woodland can be managed in sustainable and ecologically sound ways and to train and share skills in woodland related activities."

I had a great chat with Joshua about Leeds Coppice Workers, the history of coppicing, how he got involved and how you can.

The featured track is the enchanting "Schiehallion" by Iona Lane.
