The small owner with small areas of amenity woods—copses, spinneys and the like—is most unlikely to find that his woodland is under a dedication scheme.
They should also be encouraged to retain the small banks and copses around some fields.
For example, a woodland or small copse may have been destroyed and there may be no evidence of what existed before.
That can be of benefit for the planting of hedgerows, copses and spinneys.
We want you to plant small copses, hedges and cut and ley them.
That is all right in a large wood, but it could destroy a small copse within a relatively short time.
It is very much their wood—it is more of a copse than a wood, but it is how they see it that matters.
The idea that one could have city farms or a copse in an urban jungle should not be passed over.
