Caption
Woodland in a conservation area in the district of Göttingen, which has been coppiced, meaning it is cut back to ground level periodically to stimulate growth. This area forms part of the Natura 2000 network: coppicing creates a forest where plenty of light reaches the forest floor. In this way, it supports protected species of plants and animals that thrive in light and warmth. A biocultural approach supports traditional management practices that holistically preserve or revive this natural and cultural heritage.
