How and Why We Restore Ancient Woodland | Woodland Trust

Following the planting of non-native conifers in the 20th century, many of our remaining ancient woodlands are damaged and in need of restoration. Our approach to restoration involves gradually thinning the existing canopy over several years. This slowly increases the dappled light that can reach the woodland floor, providing the perfect habitat for our more sensitive native woodland plants to grow and thrive. We continue to gather research and evidence from our own estate to build on how we restore these irreplaceable woodlands.

Thanks to generous funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, we are working with landowners across the UK to restore their ancient woodlands. To find out more visit https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/protecting-trees-and-woods/ancient-woodland-restoration/
