Publisher's Synopsis
In this text, guidance is provided to land managers and owners who are interested in establishing new areas of woodland made up of communities of native tree and shrub species. This "Bulletin" encourages the selection of the appropriate type of new native woodland for any particular site and gives guidance on the species composition, design and silvicultural methods which should be used in order to secure the development of the woodland ecosystem as a whole. The wide range of possible benefits from these new woods, including wood production, is recognized and the practical advice is tailored accordingly.
