Wither Wood - Denby Dale

Long term intentions

The long-term intention is to restore this ancient lowland mixed broadleaved woodland to a predominantly native species mix of uneven aged structure. The woodland will continue to comprise a much-valued intimate habitat mosaic. The coniferous content of the wood will over time be reduced to scattered specimen trees retained for their historical amenity and conservation value. Dead wood will continue to be an important part of this woodland habitat where it doesn’t present a safety hazard.

Open public access and the network of paths will be maintained.
