MWT creates products from coppicing
The Manx Wildlife Trust is creating useful garden items from nature's waste.
The self-styled Midweek Muckers are creating wattle panels and willow bundles from their coppicing days at Close Sartfield - a project which aims to stimulate growth of trees on site.
With an eye to recycling, the clearing has produced materials for wattle panels and willow bundles - which are now being sold by the Trust, the funds going back into the charity's conservation work.
The panels are designed to provide natural windbreaks, as a framework for plants, or to hide oil tanks or sheds.
The willows are said to make good packing for horse jumps.
