- Presentation given at the UK Organic Congress 2018, organised by the Organic Research Centre. Ross Dickenson is a farmer in south west England who manages his, and his neighbours, hedges for woodfuel. In this presentation Ross demonstrates that it is economically viable to move a hedge from annual flailing to a fifteen-year coppicing rotation. This paper will not provide a template for others to adopt as it is site specific but it does demonstrate that in certain circumstances it is viable to take some hedges from flailing to coppicing and that there will be parts of our process which others might adapt to their own circumstances.
