WEALD WOODSCAPES

Woodland management

​

Weald Woodscapes specialises in the sustainable, low-impact management of Ancient Semi Natural Woodland (ASNW) and the restoration and management of Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS). The highest concentration of ASNW is located here in the South East of England and the range of plant and animal species associated within these important ecosystems are largely dependent upon a continuity of management. Each woodland has its own particular combination of vegetation structure, plant communities, wildlife components, geology and social history. These woods provide a wide range of benefits, not least of which is the conservation of biodiversity and the production of timber products for local markets. Together all these elements combine to afford a unique ‘woodscape’ within the wider rural environment.

​

So, whatever the type of woodland, its size and location, initiating sustainable systems of
management that reflect its ecological status and recognise its uniqueness, can provide woodland owners and managers with an opportunity to make a real contribution to the sustainable future of Britain's woodlands and our natural environment.
