This guide contains detailed advice to aid the recovery of juniper (Juniperus communis subsp. communis) across the chalk and limestone country of lowland England. Plantlife has been piloting a series of management techniques with project partners to find out the best ways of triggering regeneration and rehabilitating functionally extinct colonies. Although these trials are still ongoing, we hope this guide will equip conservation practitioners, land managers and voluntary groups with the information they need to stem the wholesale decline of the species across southern England. In the absence of wider landscape-scale processes ushering in a whole new generation of juniper, clusters of small scale restoration projects have potential benefits beyond the level of individual sites.
