<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><P><SPAN>Ancient woodland is defined as land that has been continually wooded since at least 1600AD. From 1600AD, planting of woodland became more common, so woodland that pre-dates this is more likely to have grown up naturally. Some ancient woods may even link back to the original wildwood that covered the UK around 10,000 years ago, after the last Ice Age.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Source: Natural England</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Date: </SPAN><SPAN>May 2020</SPAN></P></DIV> |
