The old pasture copsed after decades of neglect, and now a small wood shelters foxes and owls.

Copsing the roadside, the volunteers planted saplings to create a new pocket of woodland.

The narrow path wound between copses of silver birch, their leaves whispering in the wind.

The children played hide-and-seek among the low branches of the old copse behind the farmhouse.

Before winter, the gardeners copse the young saplings to encourage denser growth.
