This bulletin presents the results of studies carried out on the rate of growth and yield of coppices of the common hazel, and on the utilisation of hazel poles both by traditional means and by modem technical processes. As hazel occupies over 160,000 acres of woodlands in Great Britain, its proper utilisation, where this is economically feasible, is a matter of concern to owners of woodlands.
