Enhanced conservation of four core forest areas
Whilst supporting existing conservation efforts by organisations and owners on designated nature conservation sites for their special habitats and species, the WWLP focuses on four core forest areas to deliver enhancements for additional Biodiversity Action Plan species, expand the area of natural habitats around them and encourage sympathetic management of neighbouring land. This broader progressive approach beyond a traditional site conservation focus allows space for a range of management regimes, from intensive use by people such as woodland coppicing to a greater influence of natural processes including naturalistic grazing by large herbivores such as 'wilder' breeds of cattle.
