Ancient woodland has been around for centuries and supports some of our richest and most precious wildlife habitats. These areas which have been undisturbed for hundreds of years are often home to rare wildlife and sensitive woodland plants and each unique woodland offers us a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors. Our ancient woodlands are in urgent need of protection and restoration. To find out more visit http://socsi.in/wzsDH | The Woodland Trust

It spreads fast and crowds out other plants and is particularly troublesome in our ancient woodlands. 🌳 Our partnership with E.ON Next is helping us to protect and restore these incredible ancient habitats, which includes invasive species removal.
