About the event

The Ancient Woodland Inventory (AWI) is the definitive national dataset of woodlands, maintained by Natural England, that have had continuous woodland cover since at least 1600 AD. These woodlands are irreplaceable habitats that are typically more ecologically diverse and hold a higher conservation value for nature than more recent woodland sites.

The AWI is an essential resource because it is used in planning and policy to protect these irreplaceable habitats. By accurately identifying and mapping ancient woodlands, we ensure they receive the necessary safeguard against development and can be prioritised for conservation efforts across Suffolk.

Hannah, from the Suffolk Biodiversity Information Service, will reveal the latest additions made to the inventory for Suffolk, how they have been identified and what this means for conservation in the county.
