2. Title: Uses and Management of the Temporate Deciduous woodland
My Learning Outcomes: LO1 - To identify the main uses of the Temperate deciduous forest LO2 - To describe patterns on a map of the temperate deciduous forest LO3 – To evaluate 3 different management strategies of the temperate deciduous forest

3. Temperate deciduous woodlands
LO1 - To identify the main uses of the Temperate deciduous forest
Starter: 2 mins with your partner to come up with as many uses as you can of a Temporate Deciduous Woodland…
Landscape: woods have tremendous scenic
value - many areas are protected by
preservation orders. Why?
Timber production: What for?
Commercial Value:
How is the forest used commercially?
The main uses of
Temperate deciduous woodlands
Recreation:
How do local people use it for recreation?
Game management:
e.g. Sandringham estate
What is this?
Habitat for birds and animals: particular woods may harbour certain species and have SSSI and similar status.
As a Tourist Attraction:
What are the attractions?
SSSI Status – Site of Special Scientific Interest
Finished? What problems or conflicts might arise between people visiting the forest?

4. WHY? Discuss! From This… to this!...
Why was there recently so much uproar when it was suggested that The Forestry Commission might sell off some of the forests to private ownership?
What were the main issues? Which groups would have been in favour of the proposals? Who was likely to be against? What is your opinion?
From This…
to this!...
WHY?
Discuss!

5. Title: Uses and Management of the Temporate Deciduous woodland
My Learning Outcomes: LO1 - To identify the main uses of the Temperate deciduous forest LO2 - To describe patterns on a map of the temperate deciduous forest LO3 – To evaluate 3 different management strategies of the temperate deciduous forest

6. Q) Describe what the map is showing:_______
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Task: Partner Map Description and analysis
What do you notice?
(think of population, climate)
2. What has happened to most of the woodland? (think of the change in colour)
3. Why is much of the land used for coniferous/soft wood forests rather than deciduous woodland?
LO2 - To describe patterns on a map of the temperate deciduous forest

7. Q) Describe what the map is showing (4 marks)
Answers: Discussion
1. What do you notice?
(very patchy, small areas, less than 5% of the
UK has forest cover)
2. What has happened to most of the
woodland?
(removed for Agriculture)
3. Why is much of the land used for
coniferous/soft wood forests rather than
deciduous woodland?
(More profitable, trees
grow quicker-takes over 100 years for an oak
tree to grow, but 30 years for a pine tree)

11. Understanding Temporate Deciduous Woodlands
Extension / Homework
QUESTIONS
1. What is meant by pollarding? Coppicing?
Controlled felling? Sustainable management?
2. Climate is the driving force in the temperate
deciduous forest ecosystem. Is this true? Give reasons for your answer
3. State one benefit of deciduous woodland under the headings : environmental, economic, social
4. Why is it necessary for woodland areas to be
managed? What would happen if they weren’t?
What problems are faced by the Forestry
Commission in managing Britain’s woodlands?
5. Explain what happens to the soil and animals if
large areas of woodland are cleared?
6. Why is it a good idea for the UK to produce more
timber? Why does this require long term planning?
