A larger variety of plants and animals live in woodland than in any other part of the countryside and surveys of the woodlands’ flora and fauna have revealed complex web of relationships through which they live together. The woodland can be divided into layers, each revealing its own unique group of organisms. Many species live their whole life at one level, but many traverse between layers. These layers include the subsoil and soil, ground or field level, shrub level or lower canopy and, finally, the tree or canopy level. This course will investigate these unique habitats, using examples of the web of life that exist in woodlands of all ages and at all levels. The course will also provide practical advice on how to establish and help to maintain this diversity in small urban gardens through to larger tracts of woodland.
