Borkener Paradis, Germany – young oak protected by bramble |
|
Wood- pasture is an area of trees and grazing. The trees usually
naturally regenerate within the protection of thorny scrub.
In such management systems if trees were cut like coppice then
grazing animals would browse out the regrowth. Instead trees were
pollarded out of reach of grazing stock such as cattle.
In the Domesday Book it was known as silva pastilis (coppice
woodland was known as silva minuta) |
