Following the establishment of the Woodlanders Richard Lord and Jackie Stone, examined the wood, and divided it into cants (plots). These subdivisions of the wood are coppiced in rotation. The coppicing is planned on an eight-year cycle, with two cants to be left for the benefit of wildlife, and as a control for studying the effect of coppicing. It has been decided not to coppice right up to the path edges. This provides a green corridor for wildlife and discourages the formation of unofficial paths across the wood. When the cant has grown enough, after four years, the edges are cut back.
