Coppice Agroforestry is a richly illustrated, comprehensive guide to resprout silviculture – managing trees and shrubs by coppicing, pollarding, shredding, and pleaching – for a continuous supply of small-diameter polewood for products from firewood to fine furniture.

Contextualizing resprout silviculture historically, ecologically, and economically, Coppice Agroforestry explores the potential of this ancient practice for modern times. Coverage includes:

  • The cultural history of coppicing in Europe and North America
  • Tree and shrub anatomy, biology, and woodland ecology
  • A suite of woodland management systems
  • Dozens of handcrafted wood products on a continuum of value, offering a wide range of business opportunities
  • Case studies of diverse coppice-based enterprises
  • Assessing existing forests for coppice potential
  • Designing new resprout silviculture systems
  • Tables highlighting diverse species for various uses
  • A vision of a modern resprout silviculture renaissance.

A decade in the making, encyclopedic in scope, and written by the hand of a woodsman, Coppice Agroforestry is a deep dive into this ancient practice, blending it with modern science, systems thinking, and tools to land it firmly into the 21st century.

Whether you have a few trees or an entire forest, Coppice Agroforestry is the must-have practical guide for homesteaders, farmers, foresters, land managers, and educators who ally themselves with the remarkable resilience of woody plants.
