Coppicing is an essential part of managing a healthy woodland. opening up the woodland floor to daylight will hopefully allow the regeneration of wild woodland flowers. The absence of beavers (to control trees) and wolves (to control deer) means in this country native woodland has to be actively managed to remain healthy.
