At the Ancient Woodland: Past, Present and Future conference in Birmingham, one message was unmistakable: AW need protect under law and PAWs restoration needs to increase. Ancient woodland should be treated as irreplaceable, not optional scenery. See campaigns below youtu.be/AWgtMwWCCBA?...

We visited Torry Hill Chestnut Fencing - a 5th gen family business in Kent, to film our next episode on #coppicing. By buying and expanding the business they helped to keep coppicing alive in the region after the pulp market collapsed, showing the value of #traditionalskills #ukforestry #woodland

The first step of #ancientwoodlandrestoration is to halt further decline by removing the threats to the health and natural diversity of the #Woodlands, supporting it's #NaturalRegeneration. Learn more about these amazing #forests and how to restore them in our latest film youtu.be/AWgtMwWCCBA?...

At last month’s #ifnotnowthenwhen Rewilding Conference, Charly premiered a 10‑minute version of our film on #restoringancientwoodlands. It was met with some great really feedback 🌳🎬 Coming soon to our channel, a new film on #coppicing now in the works. #WoodForTheTrees #Rewilding #AncientWoodlands

The 3 stages of #ancientwoodlandrestoration are to halt further decline, transform back to #nativewoodland and to maximise #ecological integrity. Mick Bracken (Woodland Trust) explains in all these stages it is #light that is the most important factor.

🌲What is #ancientwoodland? Land that has been continuously wooded for at least 400 years, during the mid 20th century, nearly half of them were felled and replanted mostly with fast-growing #timber species. Now these precious #Ecosystems are small and fragmented and cover less than 3% of UK land. 🌳

The Woodland Trust are championing #ancientwoodlandrestoration too! Join their campaign below... They say "Unless our government acts decisively, we risk losing these #preciousecosystems forever. Urge your minister to rescue our damaged ancient woods now." www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/protecting-t...

#Ancientwoodlands are vital for biodiversity but many have become #Ghostwoods "once thriving ancient woodlands felled in the 20th century and now smothered by monoculture plantations." @wildcard.land's new Ghost Wood campaign is calling on @forestryengland.bsky.social to restore these lost habitats.

Our film-maker Charly lived at Coed Hills for some years and is excited to be back this weekend for #Coedffest to celebrate and share films including the newly released “Ancient Woodland Restoration - The Story of Light and Life” along with two others from the WFTT series, and Q&A afterwards.

🌳 Our New Film! Journey with us to Cornwall, exploring #ancientwoodlandsrestoration on land that now covers less than 3% of the UK @philsturgeon.com (Protect Earth) at High Wood & Mick Bracken (Woodland Trust) at Millook. Discover why such ecosystems matter and how they bring hope for biodiversity!

Oceanic Rainforests. Millook on the North Cornish coast is a prime example of why we need to protect and restore these rare #ecosystems. #TemperateRainforest #Conservation

High Wood, Liskeard: Conifer timber forest, in the process of #ancientwoodlandrestoration. In our next film see how Protect Earth is breathing new life into this ancient forest. #LostRainforestOfBritain

From #conifer plantations to #nativewoodlands: Charly has been down in Cornwall filming the transformation PAWs sites. A story of hope for our #ancientwoodlands. #WoodlandRevival

SIGN THIS IMPORTANT PETITION! Stop Dartington Hall Trust destroying a groundcreaking, 31 year old #foodforest @agroforestryrt.bsky.social a unique example that has inspired both our film maker @pocketfullofacorns.bsky.social and myself to create our own #forestgardens.

#WorldRewildingDay Gratitude to everyone championing the revival of #naturalecosystems @rewildingbritain.org.uk At recent screening of 'Wilding' @kneppwilding.bsky.social alongside our film below, people said it really helped to explain what was happening in #rewilding and why #rewildingtogether

Woodland creation and management are key to delivering significant environmental benefits, from boosting biodiversity to enhancing ecosystem resilience. 🦉🌿 Learn how improving existing woodlands and creating new ones can maximize their environmental value: www.forestresearch.gov.uk/news/143260-...

In the second part of our recent series we spoke with David Pengelly at Stourhead Western Estate to discuss how financially viable #ContinuousCoverForestry is, why #forest owners should consider it and what Government and #Timber industry could do to support it. Link to full film in comments 🧵1/2

In our most recent series we went to Stourhead Western Estate and spoke with David Pengelly BSc(Hons) FICFor to see if #timberproduction and #ecosystem #biodiversity can co-exist in #ContinuousCoverForestry The link to the full film is in the comments 🧵1/2

What's the future for UK #woodlands and #forests? Everyone's talking about #treeplanting, but there is lot to consider: What do we plant? Where? Why? Who pays? How is it managed? In our short films we interview experts to provide insights and ideas. #trees #uktimber #rewilding #agroforestry
