The New Native Woodland on Dartmoor Project was initiated in July 1999. Project objectives were designed to encourage the establishment of new native woodland under the Forestry Commission National Park Challenge Grant Scheme. Initially, the project was to focus on the Dart River basin. This report outlines the objectives identified by English Nature, the procedure undertaken in achieving those objectives and the results and accomplishments of the project. The report also points to problems encountered in achieving the objectives and the positive and negative factors that affect the establishment of new native woodland in Dartmoor National Park. Several major recommendations were also included for consideration in future implementation of new native woodland initiatives.
