Throughout most
of Bos t'Ename, human activities are prohibited so that natural
processes of woodland growth and development can go on undisturbed.
In a specially
designated section of the wood, the traditional "coppice-with-standards"
forestry technique is applied. In this technique, the dense layer
of coppice or small trees is cut back every twelve years and is
then allowed to grow freely after each cut. Seeds of the few standing
trees and surrounding plants and trees ensure that a wide range
of species can grow and yield a very rich flora.
