	Woodland management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Woodland management is the practice of managing woodlands, whether for the maximising of timber production, or for the conservation of wildlife.
		A well-managed woodland, such as one in which coppicing is practiced, can produce a steady supply of small timber (suitable for fencing, broom handles etc.).
		Other woodland management techniques include pollarding and shredding.

	Woodland management: Stevenage Borough Council (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Where woodland is on council owned land the local authority has a responsibility to maintain it in a way that is beneficial to the local environment and ensures public safety.
		Management of the town's woodlands is carried out in line with a series of 5-year plans drawn up by the Council and agreed with the Forestry Commission.
		The present five-year plan states that the town's woodlands will be managed in order to provide recreation and amenity for local residents and also to ensure their survival in a manner benefiting both the landscape of the town and local wildlife.

	Sustainable Woodland Management in Hertfordshire
		Teaching our children once a week out in nature in a 'Woodland classroom' has been found to be beneficial not only in improving their learning and behaviour, but also of course has health benefits and helps them to acquire a deeper understanding of environmental issues.
		There are some cases where non-intervention has its benefits, but as much of these woodlands are overstood coppice and old plantations that have not been thinned, the woods are now in a state of collapse or in the latter case, the quality of the timber is declining, being lost of has already been lost.
		We, as one of those co-operatives in Hertfordshire, are part of this change and are working with local woodland owners, woodland groups and local councils to be part of the drive to help ensure that our existing woodlands are managed sustainably and also to plant new woodlands.

	woodland management and coppicing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Woodland management has for centuries relied on the practice of coppicing to provide for the supply of sustainable materials.
		The practice of coppicing in woodland management, which can be defined as "the art of cutting of trees and shrubs to ground level to allow vigorous regrowth that produces a sustainable supply of timber for future generations".
		The practice of coppicing in woodland management is equally important as a management technique in new woodlands as well as those of ancient woodland.

	Katerere: Woodland Management Research in Southern Africa
		The forest and woodland resources in the communal areas are under increasing pressure from clearing for agricultural land (estimated at between 0.5 and 7.0 percent) and from the high demand for other products such as grazing, construction material and food and fuelwood from an ever dwindling resource base.
		Accordingly, researchers must increasingly examine why and by whom forests and woodlands are managed and the crosscutting issues such as tenure, macro economic policy, legislation, institutional arrangements, capacity building, investment, indigenous local knowledge and gender that impact on sustainable forest and woodland management.
		This conventional type of research is not designed to consider the multiple benefits of forests and woodlands upon which the majority of the region's population are dependent and the modifications that these forests and woodlands have undergone.

	Woodland Management
		The appearance of a grazed woodland changes as trees are harvested or die of old age, and there are no young trees to take their place.
		Grazed woodlands are less vigorous and the trees produce fewer seeds - including acorns, which are a staple food for woodland wildlife.
		One acre of a managed pasture is worth from 20 to 40 acres of woodlands in grazing value.

		The goal of the woodland stewardship program is to help you manage the natural resources on your property.
		After the forester has inventoried and written a woodland management plan for your property you will meet with him or her to discuss your management options.
		Another management action may be to harvest a portion of the timber on your property.

	Woodland Management
		Coppicing is also important for biodiversity in woodlands as the system means that there is a range across the whole woodland of trees of different ages and heights, with all the diversity of wildlife that comes with this variation.
		In overgrown woodlands that have received no management for a long time it is also an excellent way of penetrating deep into a woodland and opening it up to discover what exists and serves as a first point of surveying and mapping.
		Accurate surveying is one factor of producing a robust management plan which delivers the long and short term vision and intentions of the owners balanced with the restrictions and resources of the existing woodland.

	FNR-102
		It may be advantageous to manage a portion of the forest landscape in a way that minimizes non-forest edges for the wildlife species sensitive to this type of edge.
		Generally, the management of 5- to 20-acre irregularly shaped timber stands, some of which are harvested every 10 years over an 80 to 100 year rotation, will result in a mixed timber stand of different ages.

	Forest and Woodland Management
		Although woodland was still managed to produce pit props and other timber for the burgeoning mining industry, much was cleared to mine the land itself, or else convert it to agriculture to feed the growing urban populations.
		Woodland is a cost-effective landscape treatment for urban green space and can offer better long-term value for money than close-mown amenity grass.
		Opportunities should also be sought to plant a steady supply of new trees and create new woodland where appropriate, such that the urban forest will eventually contain a balance of the whole age range of trees and woodland.

	National Trust \| Woodland \| Guidance \| Minimum intervention management
		Since the severe storm which affected south east England in 1987, natural processes of woodland change (tree regeneration and restructuring of plant and animal communities) have generally ensured the continuity of woodland and, in many cases, the vigorous natural regeneration of trees has overwhelmed those that were planted.
		But since most woodlands are too small to accommodate change without the loss of wildlife or other interests, where possible we plant or encourage the natural colonisation of land in close proximity to the most important woodlands to act as stepping stones or corridors for mobile species.
		Management should be based on an understanding of the significant features and attributes of individual woods.

	WOODLAND MANAGEMENT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Almost everywhere untended land will revert to woodland as long as the destructive influence of man and his animals do not interrupt the process of regeneration.
		Management may be considered by some to be unnecessary, especially in the light of the durability of trees and woods.
		The woodland environment may never have been "tamed" in the same way that farmland was, and many primaeval fears are awakened during our visits, but woodlands and trees served a function which was essential to life in the past and, if we only would realise it, our life in the future.

		Today the main areas of broadleaf woodland are in the valleys on the edge of the moor.
		The valley woodlands are mainly oak, and most were once managed as coppice for bark tanning, fuel and timber.
		Traditional woodland management is no longer practiced on a large scale and it is now recognised that many woods, and their characteristic species of animals and plants, are threatened by neglect or by the introduction of invasive species.

	Forest Research - Climate change adaptation of woodland management
		Woodland networks will also provide the opportunity for both native fauna and flora to migrate as climate change progresses.
		Although the choice of planting stock during restocking, semi-natural woodland restoration and woodland expnsion is an important element of climate change adaptation, there are also options for the management of existing woodland.
		The tools that have been developed to managed forests in the uplands should therefore continue to be used, including an ongoing assessment of wind hazard as climate change progresses.

	Introduction to Woodland Management
		Management will be necessary where economic products such as timber or game species are to be the end result.
		Where the purpose of a woodland is for wildlife benefit or conservation, no management might be considered to be an option.
		A woodland may also be managed in order to favour the conservation of particular species, for example, the dormouse.

	Forestry Commission - Wales Woodland Strategy - Woodland management
		Woodlands are usually robust habitats, but incremental changes in climate and increases in populations of some insects and mammals, raise concerns for the future management of some woodland habitats and species.
		These woodlands, though often more diverse than the open upland they replaced, are generally less diverse than those in private ownerships and will benefit most from conversion to a more stable woodland environment.
		New woodlands could link and protect the remnants of our irreplaceable ancient, semi-natural woodlands, provide shelter on farms and help diversify agricultural businesses, contributing to a sustainable supply of timber for industries, large and small.
