Planted Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS)
The North Devon Biosphere is partnering with the Woodland Trust to progress the recovery of PAWS sites.
The project will operate in the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, but not in the Exmoor natural Character Area part which is already covered by another project.

The project proposes to engage with landowners of PAWS sites, seek permission to assess the sites and offer advice on the restoration of the site, with a view to commitment from the landowners and actual works to safeguard ancient semi natural woodlands (ANSW) features on the PAWS sites. The project is intended to contribute to our understanding of how to best conserve and restore ASNW currently in poor condition due to plantation or invasive species in line with Woodland Trust Guidelines.
