Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Track through Owston Wood. This is the main west to east track through the wood which is quite open when compared to the surrounding trees; see 213478
Part of the "Ancient Woodlands Plan" agreed between the Forestry Commission and English Nature, the Forestry Commission has been restoring this ancient wood to its medieval state. This has involved removing acres of regimented conifers planted in the 1960's and encouraging indigenous species, such as ash and lime, to take over. The project started in 2003 and this SSSI is now looking much as it must have done in the 16th Century in several areas although work is still going on to clear the site of western red cedar. The plan is to return the site to coppicing as a viable commercial enterprise while encouraging traditional wildlife to return. At the moment, to protect sensitive areas, the only public access is along the Leicestershire Round long distance footpath that crosses from north to south in SK7906. |
