Examples of copse

• Songs of cuckoos and nightingales echoed from the copses on the hillsides. 

• The fir copse from which the pheasant rose covers a rather sharp descent on one side of the highway. 

• The river, the copse, both banks, green and washed, trees and fields—all were bathed in bright morning light. 

• They were passing through a little copse, where the light was but misty and indistinct, and where the road made a sudden sharp turn almost at right angles, affording complete shelter to any person or persons lying in ambush.

• Our bluebell groves and our chestnut copses and our hop fields are gradually giving way to the spread of concrete.

• Many amenity woods, small woods, copses, and all hedgerow and park timber have been deliberately kept outside the scheme.

• I am thinking especially of small copses of parkland timber and timber planting which would not naturally be the subject of dedication agreements.

• For example, a woodland or small copse may have been destroyed and there may be no evidence of what existed before.
