The
woodland cover of the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB is low, at under 4%, but is
still an important habitat and landscape component of the area. Much of
the present day woodland was planted during the period of parliamentary
enclosures from late 18th and early 19th centuries, often to provide a
mixture of small game coverts, parkland, tree belts and avenues. Small
plantations and clumps of predominantly beech, with some ash, sycamore and
pine, are still dotted around the Wolds today and are one of its most
dramatic of landscape features. 
The
Lincolnshire Wolds Tree Group are conscious of the sensitive issues that
can relate to tree and woodland management. We are also aware that trees
and woodland need active management to ensure that they remain healthy and
productive for their timber, landscape and biodiversity value. We hope
that this Advise Sheet Series will act as a guide for owners and managers
of trees and woodland in the Wolds and assist in making decisions.
The
Lincolnshire Wolds Tree Group is a combination of specialist organisations
and individuals. The following information is useful for land managers and
