Wood management plan

Each Woodland Trust wood (or group of woods) has its own management plan compiled by the woodland officer responsible for its care.
Having a management plan helps us ensure that our woodland management achieves the Trust's four aims:

• No further loss of ancient woodland
• Improving woodland biodiversity
• Increasing new native woodland
• Increasing people's understanding and enjoyment of woodland

It also ensures that management is consistent and appropriate to the unique nature of the individual wood. The plan consists of four main parts:

• Summary of information about the wood
• Evaluation of key features
• Vision and objectives for management of the wood
• Progress reports

Please note that while work programmes are outlined in each management plan these are often subject to suitable funding being secured, can be delayed by weather and ground condition etc and are therefore subject to constant review.

Many of our woodlands have important elements of open space which are often farmed or managed via various mechanisms such as grazing licences to keep them open.
