Details

This report sets out provisional results (as at 31 March 2015) for the amount of temporary and permanent change in woodland canopy in the form of clearfell, restocking and windblow etc. The report also identifies permanent change in canopy, where woodland is felled and permanently lost through conversion to other land uses such as built developments, wind farms and open habitat restoration.
