Mere Alder
Mere Alder is a coppice at the margin of the flash country in the Sarrum county, always with wet ground underfoot. It supplies poles, hurdles and charcoal, though the charcoal is too poor for a serious furnace. Like Long Hazel and Gallows Ash Coppice it is one of the small woods of the waste, none big enough to be called a forest.
