Scrub regeneration

Landscape Character Type: Open inland planned plateaux

Scrub regeneration on the least productive agricultural land provides new habitat

Beech hedge restored

Landscape Character Type: Open inland planned plateaux

Hedgebanks restored and new hedgerow trees planted / allowed to grow out to enhance landscape pattern

Archaeological site kept clear of trees

Landscape Character Type: Open inland planned plateaux

Archaeological site kept clear of trees and viewpoint remains open

Productive woodland

Landscape Character Type: Open inland planned plateaux

Large scale planting of productive woodland, within existing landscape framework and linking with existing woodland.

Existing habitats retained

Landscape Character Type: Wooded scarp slopes

Existing rough grassland (used by bats for foraging) and wet flush habitats retained

Farm orchard

Landscape Character Type: Wooded scarp slopes

Small farm orchard replanted

Hedge managed and some hedgerow trees allowed to grow out

Landscape Character Type: Wooded scarp slopes

Former improved grassland field reverting to dynamic scrub/ woodland habitat

Woodlands

Landscape Character Type: Wooded scarp slopes

Organic shape of existing woodlands reflected in new woodland planting

Field patterns

Landscape Character Type: Upper farmed and wooded valley slopes

Historic field patterns reinstated, strengthening landscape pattern and wildlife corridors, whilst reducing flooding and soil loss.

Community orchard

Landscape Character Type: Upper farmed and wooded valley slopes

New community orchard

New woodland

Landscape Character Type: Upper farmed and wooded valley slopes

Woodlands linked with new woodland, copse and hedge planting.

Hedgerow trees

Landscape Character Type: Upper farmed and wooded valley slopes

Infield and hedgerow trees planted / allowed to grow out

Riverside path

Landscape Character Type: Sparsely settled farmed valley floors

New riverside path allows access to countryside

Riparian (river bank) trees

Landscape Character Type: Sparsely settled farmed valley floors

New riparian trees stabilise river bank

Regeneration of valley floor wet woodland

Landscape Character Type: Sparsely settled farmed valley floors

Wet woodland regeneration of valley floor creates new habitat and slows flooding
