For over five hundred years, medieval foresters managed entire landscapes with a system so sophisticated it produced continuous harvests of fuel, building material, and industrial resources without destroying a single tree. The secret was a biological principle so counterintuitive that modern forestry abandoned it entirely — and the consequences have been catastrophic. This video traces the system from the thousand-year-old coppice stools still producing wood in English forests, through the legal framework that protected it longer than any other law in English history, to the parallel discovery made independently in fourteenth-century Japan. What medieval foresters understood about trees changes everything you think you know about sustainable forestry.
