Management of the Temperate Deciduous Woodlands Aims To understand that management is needed in temperate deciduous woodlands. To understand the terms sustainable development and sustainable management.

The Temperate Deciduous Woodland is said to be in balance with nature. Unfortunately, human interference often alters, or even destroys, ecosystems. This occurs because of clearing land for development e.g. farming and village settlement in earlier times and roads and recreation in more recent times. A vital issue for present generations is ‘How can we gain most benefit from an ecosystem without destroying it?’ – the concept of Sustainable management.

Controlled Felling Trees which are to be cut down are identified and then they are cut down in such a way that the amount of wood collected is maximised. Areas can be cleared together or can be mapped and the trees to be felled identified. The advantage of controlled felling is that trees that may not be wanted or may be young do not need to get cut down.

Replanting This method of sustainable management means that for each tree which is cut down or removed at least one new tree is planted. This will ensure there are trees for future generations.

Pollarding This method of woodland management involves cutting the trees to shoulder height so that they reshoot and new growth occurs.

Planning for Recreational Use and Conservation If forested areas are used for recreation then they will not be felled as people will be using them. The recreational uses will also promote sustainable use. However, any forest which is being used for recreational uses will need to be managed to ensure that there is no damage. Responsibility for the management needs to be given and management plans need to be produced to ensure that the forest provides an open space for the public whilst conserving the natural environment.
