Broadleaf woodland to be sustained mainly by natural regeneration to provide a permanent tree cover but at the same time providing a variety of different age and canopy heights. Some small scale felling and replanting may take place where conditions are unsuitable for natural regeneration. Any conifers will be removed over time through thinning or group fellingConifer woodland sustained by a cycle of clear felling, replanting and thinning. Woodland will contain a mosaic of open spaces and a diversity of species and age classes to enhance the visual quality.

Wooded Heath - areas managed as heathland but with up to 20% tree cover in either isolated groups or individual character trees. Areas have been designated as wooded heath either for landscape purposes or because the area contains a high conifer seed bank that would be difficult to eradicate in the medium to long term and hence meet the criteria for pure heathland.Grassland - area maintained as open grasslandMire (marsh/bog) habitats that will be kept clear of trees and scrub. Hydrological regimes restored and grazing introduced where practical.Streamside corridors that will be managed in accordance with the Forests and Water Guidelines.Pond

Thin out Red Oak to favournative broadleaves

Remove poor stand of Red Oak.Allow natural succession to take place

and continue to thin out Red Oak regenerationMaintain screen of conifer alongside

the road but increase thinning intensity to soften edge and merge more effectively

with adjacent heath

Maintain open sandy banks along rideedges due to their importance for invertebrates

Gradually remove remaining coniferand encourage natural regeneration

of Oak and Birch

Maintain succession of Sallow in open areas alongrides for moth interest. Carry out vegetation management

on south-facing bank to maintain interest for reptiles

Allow native broadleaf regeneration along wetter ground to link broadleaf

woods along Uddens Water with Harnwoods Copse

Wet site with some young surviving Corsican Pine.Encourage natural regeneration of

broadleaves to develop as mixed woodland

Wet ground. Allow some development of wet
