Roots and branches - renaissance

Article Abstract:

There have been significant improvements in approaches to forestry management in the UK over recent years. The Forestry Commission and other relevant government bodies are now focusing on planting native, broadleaf species in lowland areas where tree cover is particularly lacking. It is now widely recognized that more trees and woods are required for purposes other than simply producing timber. The UK's woodlands are expanding, but it seems unlikely that the government target of doubling woodland cover to 15% by 2050 will be reached.

Conservation hits the jackpot

Article Abstract:

The UK's Heritage Lottery Fund has played a key role in protecting endangered species and habitats. It has given a grant of almost 400,00 pounds sterling to Suffolk Wildlife Trust for the restoration of Framlingham Mere, for example, and has also been involved in work to protect the habitat of the Great Raft Fen Spider at Redgrave and Lopham Fen in Suffolk, England. It has invested several dozen million pounds in projects connected solely with nature and landscape conservation and creating new environments.

How to be a tree nationalist

Article Abstract:

There are mixed views in the UK about whether forestry management work should focus only on planting trees which are native to the UK. Past generations used foreign trees extensively, and native trees have only recently become an issue of concern. The Woodland Trust believes that it is vital to protect native trees, and cares for more than 38,000 acres of woodland where only trees of British origin are planted.
