coppice
Dense tree grove
A coppice is a small grove of trees or shrubs that are periodically cut back to ground level, encouraging new growth from the stumps.
This ancient woodland management technique produces poles, firewood, and other materials on a sustainable cycle.
The verb means to cut back in this way: The hazel was coppiced every seven years.
Also called a copse, though copse now often means any small wood.
