A copse is a small group of trees or a thicket, often found in woodlands or near fields. These areas can provide habitat for various wildlife, including birds, insects, and small mammals. Copse environments are typically characterized by dense vegetation and can vary in size and species composition. Copses are important for biodiversity and can serve as natural corridors for animals. They also play a role in soil conservation and water management. In some regions, copses are managed for timber production or as part of agricultural practices, enhancing both ecological and economic benefits.
