We are fencing small areas to help restore the soil and habitats for wildlife and people to enjoy.
Ancient woodlands take many centuries to develop. They are home to irreplaceable wildlife but only 2% of UK ancient woodlands remain. Our ancient woodlands suffered from hugely increased footfall. By fencing heavily trampled ground we create Conservation Areas for flora and precious soil organisms. Reduced trampling will allow plants, young trees, and mycelia to grow back, providing habitat and food for birds, invertebrates and small mammals.
