Severn Treescapes: Dead Wood Society

The Dead Wood Society will achieve an important step towards the overall Severn Treescapes vision to create a resilient and connected 60-mile corridor between the Lower Wye and Wyre for Trees and Woodland and their associated species. Our project will create an improved evidence base from which to build sustainable change across that landscape for key threatened species, heritage skills and heritage events associated with ancient and veteran trees, traditional orchards and parklands, for which the three counties are a key location. We will be better able to create a long-term temporal (potentially hundreds of years) and spatial plan for connectivity and continuity of habitat for threatened species of wood-rot habitats. Landholders and local communities will better appreciate the benefits, both natural and economic, that these trees provide and will be ready to support and deliver that long term plan in the next phase of Severn Treescapes.
