Plantlife’s Rapid Woodland Assessment (RWA) is a tool used to assess a
woodlands potential to support important lichens and bryophytes of
conservation interest. By completing this assessment in a local
woodland, you are contributing to our knowledge surrounding the
condition of the region’s Atlantic woodlands, generating information on
woodland composition, structure, important habitat features, lichen
indicators, woodland threats and management. Please find the survey
brochure and forms attached.
