Woodland
Woodland refers to an area covered with trees and other vegetation. It is an important natural resource that provides habitat for wildlife, helps to regulate the climate, and offers recreational opportunities for people. In Yorkshire, woodlands are an integral part of the landscape, with many ancient woodlands dating back to the medieval period. These woodlands are home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare species such as the red squirrel and the nightjar. They also play a vital role in the local economy, providing timber for construction and fuel, as well as supporting the tourism industry.
