This project aims to focus on and improve our iconic Welsh woodland habitats and build up resilience to sustain the benefits and business opportunities these woodlands provide to their surrounding communities.
As most of these iconic and ancient woodlands are held in private ownership collaboration between landowners, managers and users is key to success. The project will build on the existing engagement and partnership working happening in a number of woodland sites across Wales. This will enable the sharing of ideas and knowledge across these sites to ensure the right actions are taken forward to tackle threats such as invasive species and diseases.
The project will also help increase timber production sustainably, explore other income generating opportunities and test options for post Brexit support for woodlands to help move towards self-sustaining models of support.
