As part of our ongoing PAWS (Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site) project, we've got a site visit to Great How (Thirlmere). Great How is a good example of the different conditions of PAWS, it has a well-managed SSSI and broadleaf plantations. It also has conifer plantations, which present their own challenges and a host of ancient woodland features, which require different levels of work.
