Over sixty Action Members and external participants met in the toasty Limoges heat to wrap-up Action activities, learn about sweet chestnut coppice in the Limoges region, review the latest coppice-related scientific findings and discuss the future of coppice in Europe.

The Conference was a tremendous success with all participants leaving with new knowledge and contacts that will surely be useful in the years to come. Special thanks goes to the FCBA for their terrific organisation, as well as the scientific committee for putting together such an interesting programme and the Vice-Chair for taking over the lead of this event.
