Any Strategy needs to be based on solid evidence and this one certainly is.
The Plan has been developed by many partners, a range of experts in trees, woodlands and other habitats to ensure that it presents the best picture of the current status and what is required.
The Evidence Base covers existing tree cover, species, ancient woodland, ancient/field and veteran trees, management and ownership, access to woodlands, mapping and Woodland Opportunity Areas.
We also include on this page the Benefits of Trees and the related evidence.
