Ancient Woodlands
The Ancient Woodlands Inventory by Natural England can be viewed online via the MAGIC website shown below. To view the ancient woodland inventory, follow the link for "Interactive Map", and under Step 1, select "Habitat Inventories". Under step 2, you can choose where you want to look; when the map appears, if you have selected a whole county, you may have to "zoom in" before the ancient woodland layer is visible). Further information on this data and some guidance for Local Authorities referring to ancient woodland and planning is available here: http://www.gis.naturalengland.org.uk/pubs/gis/tech_aw.htm
