The woodland slopes of the Derbyshire Dales have been devastated by ash dieback. An
estimated 600,000 ash trees are now infected, which could lead to the loss of special
habitats they support. However, an exciting project called LIFE in the Ravines, based in the
Peak District’s Dale woodlands, is working to save them.
Join us on May 10th to learn more about LIFE in the Ravines and to have a go at creating
your own woodland restoration plan. The team will take you through a workshop,
highlighting the importance of biodiversity and the role different tree species play in
creating a healthy and sustainable woodland ecosystem. Through hands-on activities and
guidance, you’ll gain valuable knowledge on selecting tree species based on soil conditions,
sunlight exposure, and habitat requirements.
