Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust are leading the Ancient Woodland Inventory Update for South Yorkshire.
For now, we are working on Phase 1 of the project, which involves using mapping software to compare aerial photography with old maps.
We are looking to put together an advisory group of local stakeholders and experts with knowledge of ancient woodlands in South Yorkshire to provide guidance.
If that’s you, or someone you know, we’d love to hear from you! Please get in touch via our email address: ancientwoodland@wildsheffield.com
In the future we might want volunteers to help us undertake surveys to identify indicator species and archaeology typical of ancient woodlands.
