Open space	Living environment, Landscape, Cultural	Building restoration

In order to maintain biodiversity and ensure ecological connectivity in grasslands, structural elements of habitats (e.g. old trees, old trees, old growth trees, dead trees and snags, flatwood, hardwood, hollow trees, scorch marks, shrub species and species of rare trees, structures and other heritage features) are maintained, taking into account their potential impact on grassland health, ecosystem condition and human safety.

Description of the action

Preserve native trees near buildings.

Why?

Preserving old trees near buildings will help them to blend into the landscape and create opportunities for wildlife. Outside of woodland, ancient trees are an important micro-habitat that supports many species of insects, birds, bats and other mammals.
