Do you own or manage a wood, or advise on woodland management? This toolkit provides advice on managing woodlands for wildlife, in particular rare and declining species that are dependent on woodland habitats.
See Woodland Guidance for practical advice on management techniques, information on woodland management issues and legal considerations. The Species Factsheets tab gives summary information for all the species in the toolkit. Use search your wood’s wildlife to help you:
- Find out which important wildlife is likely to be in or near your woodland based on available survey or distribution data
- Understand the habitats and features that these species need
- Provide these habitats through practical woodland management
Use assess your wood’s condition to get an overview of the condition of your wood’s habitats and identify any issues you may need to address. See management planning to access management plan templates and a link to myForest – a web tool developed by Sylva Foundation that helps woodland owners and managers map, store data, and create management plans for their woodlands.
