Section A - Introduction This Management Plan forms part of the Contract for BWW Case ref 17144 and describes the management necessary to achieve your long term objectives. The Management features describe the detailed management for a particular area and objective. The linked operations are designed to achieve the targets set for each feature.
The whole of the plan area has been mapped using sub-compartments to provide a snapshot of the trees and stands present. The sub-compartments with other mapped areas are also used to inform the plan of operation and feature locations.
This report is designed to provide a detailed view of the plan contained in the G&L online application.

Section C - General Description This section gives a general description of the woodlands as they are at the time of writing the Management Plan.
Total Plan Area The total area covered by this plan is 15.46 hectares.
Description
Carreg Cennen woodlands enclose Carreg Cennen Castle to the westerly, southerly and easterly directions. They form a large part of the Carreg Cennen SSSI, are for the most part listed on the provisional register of ancient woodlands, and (apart from 1a) share a boundary with Carreg Cennen Local Nature Reserve. The woodlands are part of the Carreg Cennen Castle Historic Landscape. A distinctive feature of the woodland is the abrupt change from NVC W8e to W11a as the substrate changes from calcareous limestone to Devonian sandstone moving from west to east, giving rise to the description "Coed Sgitsoffrenig". To the south of the castle the woodlands are precipitously steep and the ground surface covered by a fine limestone scree. To the west the oakwoods are open with litle understorey, though some group planting has taken place at various times.
History
There has been some group planting of individually protected trees over the last 20 years. There has clearly been a long history of sheep grazing over most of the site; this has had its most marked effect in the oak woodland where little regeneration has occurred and the ground flora has become dominated by bracken. Canopy closure in this woodland is only 70 - 80%.
Context The site lies entirely within the Brecon Beacons National Park. The woodlands extend in an easterly direction in a branching continuum of mixed woodland for several kilometres. Elsewhere the site is surrounded by pasture, much of which is part of the SSSI and consist of several grasssland communities depending on the acidity and dampness of the ground. The castle itself is a major tourist attraction.
Long Term Policy The lack of age variation, regeneration and structural diversity in the oak woodland will have been addressed and a full range of size and age classes will ultimately be exhibited.

The deadwood habitat will continue to be abundant commensurate with the needs of safety on this high public access site. The two woodland communities (W8 and W11) will continue to be distinct and each will display a ground flora typically associated with these woodland types. The rare Sorbus spp will be safeguarded. Bat roosting and foraging sites (both in mature treees and the cliffs/caves) will be avoided during all work and protected from damage. Public usage will be increasing, attracted by the improved access facilities along the new circular track and rest stops at the new benches. Stock will be excluded from the whole site and fences will all be in good order. The minor archaeological sites (as opposed to the castle itself) will be undisturbed by silvicultural and recreational activities. Recreation will continue to be encouraged on this site, though always bearing in mind the potential risks to the vaulable biodiversity of this site.

Section E - Management Features
Management Features are statements covering the management of particular areas for a particular objective. The Long Term Vision is the desired end result of management. The General Approach is how the desired end result will be achieved. The Operational Priorities are the management actions which are needed in the plan period.
Desired characteristics and factors are things in the woods which can be measured and monitored to ensure that management is succeeding. This will normally be monitored at plan review but in a small number of instances some monitoring work will be needed in the plan period.

Feature Name Location Category Objective Condition
Coed Sgitsoffrenig 1a 2a 2b 2c Native woodland improve ecological Unfavourable condition recovering
Long Term Vision
The woodland will continue to be a valuable woodland offering considerable wildlife and landscape benefits. It will remain essentially native in character and the two parts of this woodland will continue to be clearly defined. The open space will offer diversity and an extensive marginal habitat. A coppice cycle will re-invigorate the undestorey through much of the ash woodland. Deadwood volumes will increase and, in as far as safety considerations allow, dead inviduals will remain in place. Mature trees and potential veterans, particularly in the oak section, will be retained in the long term. The site will continue to be a popular attraction for visitors, especially once access is improved.
General Approach
The formerly grazed woodland will have stock excluded and the vigorous bracken cover in the central section will be controlled to allow natural regeneration to develop. A new circular pedestrian track, and associated benches, will offer much easier access through the site. Much of the understorey is overstood and ragged; this will be recoppiced in patches over the period of the plan. At all times the biodiversity value of the woodland will remain the highest priority and discussions with CCW will continue throughout the period plan.

Long Term Vision
The woodlands will reflect the natural condition of the two woodland types (NVC W8e and W11a) on this site, with site typical ground flora (bluebell in particular will be abundant). Natural regeneration will be capable of providing the next generation of canopy trees. Mature individuals will continue to be abundant providing ample nesting and foraging opportunities for bats. The priority species, such as the rare Sorbus species, will be indentified and safeguarded. Deadwood will continue to be abundant in relation to the live wood volumes.
General Approach
Stock will be excluded. Regeneration will be identified and safeguarded. Bracken will be controlled. A coppice regime will be established in the ash woodland.
Operational Priorities
Walk the oak fringes to identify oak seedlings in May.

Public access 2b 2c Public Access,recreation Create high quality High level of usage and Tourism facilities
Long Term Vision
Public use of the woodland will extend beyond the current linear path along a new access route running deeper into the woodland and along the central slopes. The new path will attract visitors of medium ability who wish to venture beyond the well used diagonal route. The site will continue to be a popular attraction and the improved facilities can be expected to help increase visitor numbers.
General Approach
A new path will be created penetrating into the oak woodland and across the central slopes. It wil be designed so that zig-zags reduce the gradient where the slope is steep and benches will be provided as resting places. The exisiting picnic facilities will be improved. To minimise impacts on the SSSI, the operations "Access" (years 09/10, 10/11 & 11/12), "Circular track", "Benches" and "Picnic area" will all not be undertaken until approval from CCW is obtained regarding the locations of each operation and the materials & methods to be used. Approval will be sought during Spring 2009, a more suitable time of year to assess any potential impacts.
