Stake and Binder collection

The collaboration between hedgelayers and coppice workers has a long and well-established history. Many traditional hedge laying styles rely on natural materials such as stakes and binders, and this continuing need ensures that coppiceproducts remain essential to the craft.

Whether these materials are produced as a by-product of routine coppice management or supplied specifically to meet the requirements of hedgelayers, the relationship is mutually supportive. In counties such as Dorset, locally grown coppice products play a vital role in maintaining and preserving traditional skills, and supporting sustainable woodland management. This enduring partnership helps ensure that both crafts remain viable and closely connected to the landscape they shape.
