Future plans - management proposals

• Our current proposals involve Access, Biodiversity and Felling.
• Find detailed descriptions of our plans on our Facebook page.
• In the first instance, we will address urgent security and safety issues such as securing boundaries and removing dangerous trees.
• We will create natural glades by felling trees to increase the amount of light reaching the woodland floor.
• We will improve the diversity of the canopy by planting and encouraging native species of trees over non-native ones.
• In partnership with Silvapower, we will continue to harvest conifers for commercial harvest which will be used for biofuel in Sheffield and Barnsley.
• Over time, we will reduce the predominance of conifers in the woods.
• By changing the structure and mix of species in the woods, we will maximise the positive effects on wildlife and increase their resilience to climate change.
• We will engage local people and volunteers to help us plan, develop and manage the woods.
