During long-term and regular coppicing the willow trunks grow to impressive sizes. In their middle appear hollow cavities that boom with life. Because dead wood = live wood. The crevices serve as refuges for birds, bats and other dead-wood dependant species.\r\n\r\nIf the branches get too big, they get too heavy for the hollow trunks and the willow breaks, leading to a\u00a0death of the whole tree. Once coppicing is done, it has to be done regularly afterwards. Because of this negligence many old willows that were coppiced in the past, are dissapearing from the countryside.\r\n\r\nThe pollard willows have an extraordinary regenerative ability. They are \u2013 in the truest sense of the word \u2013 a\u00a0renewable source of material. Once upon a\u00a0time they were wery common and people used to coppice the branches for fire wood and basket-making.\r\n\r\nWe re-initiate pollard willow coppicing in our projects. In the lower rye island we starter willow coppicing as part of the LIFE Ostrovn\u00e9 L\u00faky project.
