Woodland
Woodlands are areas where the vegetation is dominated by trees, which often have shrubby and herbaceous plant undergrowth. Trees and woodlands are essential to life, and provide numerous benefits for both wildlife and people. Woodlands are one on the UK’s most important habitats and support a spectacular variety of plants and animals, such as Robins, Grey squirrels, Bats, and many more. They also help to maintain a healthy planet by absorbing harmful greenhouse gases, preventing soil erosion and limiting flood damage.
Trees and woods also increase people's health and well-being by providing a place for relaxation and recreation, and can help reduce stress and anxiety. They also provide a fun way of learning about the natural world, and help connect people to wildlife in large cities, such as London.
