We specialise in woodland management in Newcastle and across the North East. The specific plants and animals to be found in a woodland depends on the type of woodland involved. Woodland come in different types and can be generally identified by the type and/or mix of dominant trees, making up the main canopy of the woodland. They can be divided into two main types, oniferous and broadleaf and are composed of a variety of plants of differing heights, giving gives woodland a distinct vertical structure.

Ancient woodlands in Britain are those which have been continuously wooded for a minimum of three to four hundred years (although not necessarily with the same type of tree cover). They are frequently diverse and will often also contain rare or unusual species. Additionally, they may have historical and
archaeological significance because of the low level of physical disturbance. 

Ancient woodlands are habitats which can have enormous biodiversity. 

They may contain much of the same biodiversity present in recent woodlands. However, the age of many of the trees and their resultant large size, thick, cracked, fissured bark and rotholes, all provide several additional microhabitats for other species. The sheer age of the habitat itself and the absence of major physical disturbance also gives rise to a continuum of conditions which favour a variety of rarer species.
