A 'Man of the Woods' in Belfairs Park Wood
This sculpture from a local tree trunk is one of several recently completed by a local artist in Belfairs Park Wood. The others include a 'Green Man' and several of local wildlife. The sculptures were commissioned using a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A 'Man of the Woods' was one of those managing the woods as a Coppice-with-Standards. The felling axe he is holding would be the important tool of his trade. Coppice Management ended in Belfairs Park Woods in the 1930s, but has been recently re-started. It has, however, been continuously practised in the nearby Belfairs Nature Reserve for hundreds of years.
