Favourable Conservation Status Strategy for Woodlands

The DFCS project is now developing strategies for achieving FCS, which describe the objectives and actions required to deliver FCS. FCS strategies provide a link between conservation actions on the ground and national nature recovery ambitions. They are intended to guide the work of conservation practitioners, particularly Natural England Area Teams but also external partners. Natural England is seeking external support in the drafting of Favourable Conservation Status strategies at the England-scale for the following habitats:

Lowland mixed deciduous woodland

Upland mixed ashwoods

Wet woodland
