Encourage the conservation of existing nature-rich woodland through

secured management plans and appropriate policies in spatial strategies.

Existing Woodland

Create, restore, enhance, buffer, and maintain woodland to maximise its nature potential, through increasing structural and species diversity and the control of invasive non-native species (including grey squirrel and deer), prioritising those that would make significant contributions to nature's recovery and sites which will reconnect woodlands

Existing Woodland

Priority Woodland Creation Areas

Identify and encourage woodland creation sites, prioritising historic woodland sites and where they would improve woodland connectivity using species that are resilient to climate change and conform to the Warwickshire Landscape Guidelines where the creation site is located

Floodplain reconnect and restoration

Priority Woodland Creation Areas

Establish and promote local markets for woodland produce from woodlands that evidence their commitment to the nature's recovery focusing primarily on nature semi-natural ancient and other broadleaved woodlands.

Existing Woodland Floodplain reconnect and restoration

Priority Woodland Creation Areas

Encourage the conservation of existing nature-rich wet woodland through secured management plans and appropriate policies in spatial strategies.

Wet woodland

Create, restore, enhance, and maintain wet woodland to maximise its nature potential, prioritising those in strategic creation areas or would make significant contributions to nature's recovery.

Wet woodland

Priority Areas for Floodplain Reconnection and Restoration

Priority Woodland Creation

Areas

Identify and encourage wet woodland creation sites prioritising sites that will improve the water quality of any hydrologically connected watercourse.

Priority Areas for Floodplain Reconnection and Restoration

Restore, enhance, and maintain existing Ancient Woodland, Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland (ASNW) and Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS). Including the restoration of PAWS to more natural woodland conditions where appropriate.

Existing Ancient Woodlands

Encourage natural regeneration to create buffer zones and sites beside ancient woodland to retain local provenance
