In-depth assessment for ancient woodland restoration

Share this case study

We assessed 44.2 hectares of ancient semi natural woodland in Whippendell Wood, and recommended restoration work to be done.

Expert mapping
This area of ancient semi natural woodland owned by Watford Borough Council was surveyed and mapped by our senior forestry and environmental consultants.

Identifying ancient features at risk
After a thorough inspection, we mapped zones and identified any at-risk features – including an imminent threat from a rhododendron, laurel and ivy invasion. Our report also concluded that one area of the woodland was very unlikely to be ancient in origin.
