Respondent: Woodland Trust
The Woodland Trust would urge that ancient woodland is given complete protection, due to its irreplaceable nature.
It is not possible to replace ancient woodland by planting a new site, or attempting translocation. Every ancient wood is a unique habitat that has evolved over centuries, with a complex interdependency of geology, soils, hydrology, flora and fauna.
