This issue of Wood Wise looks at several woodland restoration projects.
In the last century, around half of our ancient woods were planted with introduced species such as non-native conifers. These are now gradually being removed to allow light back into the woodland.
We learn how this supports wildlife and enables native species to re-establish. And we discover how it can increase landscape resilience and generate revenue.
