How to Coppice Ancient Woodland
At Butser Ancient Farm we’ve been building an Anglo-Saxon house using traditional methods and materials, including harvesting wood by hand. In this video, Butser treewright Darren introduces us to his ancient native woodland where he gathers materials for the build. ▬ About Us ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Butser Ancient Farm is an open-air experimental archaeology museum and active research centre, learning about the past by recreating it. Our experiments are world-renowned, and our buildings include a Roman villa, Celtic village, Stone Age farm and Saxon halls - all reconstructed from real UK archaeology, and open to be explored! We do everything we can do share our passion for the past, from visitor opening and school groups to filming our experiments for bitesize documentaries. ▬ Support Us ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Thanks to our supporters, we can continue to explore the cutting-edge of experimental archaeology, expand our understanding of the distant past, and pass our passion for archaeology onto the next generation.
