I recently read How to Invent Everything a Time Traveler's Guide to Reinventing society and Ryan North had an interesting section on Coppicing. from what I can tell it's a sustainable form of wood harvesting and woodland management.
You chop the tree to the base in the winter and in spring new shoots start growing from the stool. Repeating this every couple of years keeps the tree in a juvenile state where it's basically constantly growing.
So far I've found pages on it on several other eco pages.
