'little wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for copse that I've seen before include "Dense growth of bushes or trees" , "Wood - thicket" , "Small group of trees" , "Harvested woodland" , "Dense thicket of trees" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
