The temperate rainforest habitat found in western Britain is internationally important for its rich lichen and bryophyte (moss and liverwort) communities. Despite their international importance, our temperate rainforests face a number of threats ranging from site-specific issues such as increasing shade and a loss of grazing, to wider problems such as a changing climate, atmospheric pollution and tree disease. To ensure a secure future for this habitat, favourable long-term management is essential.
This interactive toolkit is aimed at woodland owners and managers. It will help you understand the key conservation issues affecting temperate rainforest lichens and bryophytes, and provides a framework for managing temperate rainforest for these important species.
