- 10. These species makeup the majority of the tree cover within the Dales.
- 11. Where do youfind these trees and how are they grouped together?
- 12. Ancient Semi NaturalWoodland There are 25 categorised woodland communities (NVC) in the UK. 18 are found in the Dales along with the majority of sub communities. 7 are absent (2 are confined to Scotland, 2 are lowland willow carr, 3 are scrub communities)

- 21. Many different plantsand animals are associated with these three types of woodland. The most important woodland type that we have is the upland ash woodland Nationally recognised as important for the assemblage of plants associated with the woodland
- 23. Total woodland cover •ASNW – 0.84% • PAWS sites – 0.23% • Other types of broadleaved woodland – 1.06% • Conifer plantations – 1.94%
- 24. At the seaside How much Ancient Semi Natural Woodland have we got in the YDNP? Not a lot 0.84% or 1480ha Hay Meadows – 1.6% Limestone pavements – 0.8%
- 25. Ancient Semi naturalwoodland • Our oldest woodlands • Been modified in the past • Strong historical link to the landscape • Immensely important, being a direct descendant from the once extensive and complex post- glacial woodland
- 26.
- 27. After the fire Progress so far • 1995 – 2006 = 660ha • 2006 – 2008 = approx 166ha • 2009/10 = 127ha • Total planted to date = 953ha 2065 acres 2000 good sized football pitches 8.26 sq km 3.2 sq miles • Present target = 100ha/yr until 2020
- 28. Where have webeen planting these trees? Hawthorn leaves make a refreshing tea.
- 30. • Where willwe be planting new woodlands in the future? “Alder flowers dye clothes green” – Robin Hood’s house keeping tip to Maid Marion
- 31. Existing special qualities Whatneeds to be taken into consideration when planting a new woodland. • Archaeology • Landscape (Woodland Design Guide) • Access • Nature conservation value.
- 37. Forest Habitat Networks Linking The Dales’ Woodlands Druids use hazel to invoke invisibility
- 38.
- 39. Aim: • To identifyareas which if planted with an appropriate New Native Woodland would provide significant woodland conservation benefits. Rowan berries have been ground and used instead of flour
- 40. What is ahabitat network? • “A habitat network is a configuration of habitat that allows species to move and disperse through a landscape. Networks can be produced for a particular type of habitat. For example, a forest habitat network focuses on how woodland species utilise woodland habitat and disperse through this and other habitat types in the wider landscape.” (Forestry Commission, 2007)
- 41. The result is: • Increased connectivity; • Less fragmentation; • More continuous woodland cover; • Improved corridors for the movement of species; • More robust and sustainable habitats; • Lower risk of species extinctions.
- 42. Priorities • Filling ingaps to join pockets of woodland; • Increasing the width of narrow bands of woodland; • Increasing the overall area of woodlands; • Planting on sites that were wooded historically but no longer retain tree cover.
- 43. • Also needto consider what might eat new trees. • Deer, Sheep, rabbits, voles all destroy woodlands • Hence the use of plastic tree shelters
- 45. • Plastic treeshelters are many and varied • Want protection for the tree but • Not so that it grows so well that it bends over when it grows too tall Current favoured guard is A***n shelter guard. Biodegradable. Tree Environment
- 46. Where does themoney come from for planting new woodlands? •National Park Authority •Forestry Commission •Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust •Agri-environment Schemes •Woodland Trust •Land owner

- #6 * 07/16/96 * ## Who knows what this one is? Ash tree Lime loving and loves the steep hill sides that we have. Ash leaf sap is used as an antidote to snake bites. Also in the North of England it is regarded as a protector from evil and good luck charm. Askrigg translates into Ash Ridge.

- #23 * 07/16/96 * ## The importance is not with the individual trees, although very old trees are very important. The continuous tree cover provides a stable environment for plants to grow. Herb Paris – doesn’t spread well at all, must have a wooded environment. Indicates that the wood has been present for a very long time.
- #25 * 07/16/96 * ## In context Hay meadows – 1.6% Limestone Pavements – 0.8%
- #26 * 07/16/96 * ## Very old habitats It is likely that some sort of woodland work has taken place in them in the past. Woodlands sustained our day to day lives and to some extent still do. They have been in place for ages. Subsequently they are the jewel in the woodland crown.
