Fascinating detailed surveys by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) have captured how Britain’s broadleaf woodlands have changed dramatically over the past 50 years, due to disease, lack of management, climate change and an increase in deer numbers.

Initially undertaken in 1971 by the late Professor Bob Bunce was repeated in 2001 and in 2021, the survey examines around 100 broadleaf woodlands in different landscapes across Britain.

A new UKCEH report looks at the data from that latest survey, commissioned by the Woodland Trust, and the changes compared to the previous two studies.
