Video story: How can you get the most out of your woodland?
Find out how managing woodland effectively can deliver for shooting, while also bringing significant benefits for wildlife and biodiversity.
The film offers an insightful look into managing woodlands effectively, balancing the need of game shooting with herbivore management and conservation. It delves into the essential elements of a thriving woodland ecosystem, showing how sustainable management practices can enhance biodiversity and support a robust environment for wildlife.
Viewers are taken through four key areas where you can make a real difference to the health of your woodlands and the benefits these bring. These include creating open spaces, the role of deadwood, natural regeneration and reducing damage by herbivores (deer, grey squirrels and rabbits). This approach ensures healthier, more resilient woodland areas that can better support both game species and a rich variety of other wildlife.
By demonstrating these best practices, the film encourages landowners and shoot managers to get hands-on with woodland management.
You can contribute to the preservation and restoration of woodland habitats, whether through practical tasks or supporting policies that promote sustainable practices. The film is not just a guide, but an inspiring call to action for those who want to see woodlands thrive for future generations.
