Appendix 1: Forest of Dean Habitats of International and National Significance
APPENDIX 1 APPENDIX 1: FOREST OF DEAN HABITATS OF INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE The Forest of Dean District represents a complex landscape composed of a wide range of habitats and ecotones often in a mosaic and often with a high degree of connectivity due to the generally small scale mixed farming context in which they sit. Details of the main features for which the district is particularly important within a County, national and international context follow: International: River Wye – near natural lowland river with high quality water and associated invertebrate and migratory fish communities; the focus for re-establishment of the west Gloucestershire otter population. Wye Valley woodlands – native woodlands of near primeval woodland origin, demonstrate a wide range of nature woodland types with long and diverse traditional management and history; exceptionally rich in plant and invertebrate species and also important habitats for birds, dormouse and bats. The Wye Valley and Forest of Dean offers a vital combination of suitable habitats for lesser and greater horseshoe bat populations. Of particular note are the many suitable breeding locations, extensive mines for hibernation and high quality woodland for feeding and transit habitats. Severn Estuary Ecosystem – A wide range of dynamic coastal habitats (saltmarsh, extensive sand and mud flats and rocky shores) and associated species, particularly wintering bird populations and migratory fish. National and County: Daffodil meadows. Orchards with dead wood invertebrates. Lowland heathland and associated species particularly nightjar. Severn Vale floodplain grasslands, some floristically rich and many with significant populations of wintering birds and breeding waders. Lowland ash/ oak/ lime and oak/ birch/ holly woods with characteristic and locally rich plant, invertebrate and bird assemblages.
