Micro-Stewardship: The Life Within the Moss

The 10-Year Management Plan

Securing Dutch Wood isn't just about the land; it’s about the micro-ecosystems within it. Our stewardship model focuses on Micro-Stewardship—protecting the smallest elements of the forest, like rare mosses and fungi on ancient oaks, to secure the health of the entire canopy.

The Restoration Roadmap

• Habitat Connectivity: Creating "dead hedges" and corridors to allow wildlife to move safely across the sanctuary.

• Native Species Protection: Monitoring the health of ancient oaks to ensure these giants remain standing for another century.

• Community Monitoring: Involving participants in tracking biodiversity, giving them a sense of ownership and pride in the land.
