Woodland Management Dilemmas
Free public lecture part of the series 'Woodland and Us' - A review of use and misuse
This series looks in detail at British Woodland, from its origin, to the depleted expanse remaining today. In addition to their environmental value, parts of many woodlands have through the centuries been coppiced, a benign practice favourable to wildlife. However, more recently, with commercial forestry, vast conifer plantations have sprung up, scarring the countryside. As deciduous woodland becomes scarce, it is under greater pressure. Included in this series are two ancient and well loved forests which are of immense value to wildlife, so that management is crucial to protect the environment and cope with visitor density.
