Abstract

Spatial data supporting the England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO) additional contribution targeting for Nature Recovery, where the layer indicates ‘Premium’, ‘Higher’ and ‘Lower’ priority areas for woodland network expansion. Data input sources: National Forest Inventory (NFI) 2012 Map plus additional woodland habitat network modelling provided by Forest Research. Habitat Networks (England) - Ancient Semi Natural Woodland 2019 map by Natural England Attributes: ‘cat’ – ‘Premium’, ‘Higher’ and ‘Lower’ priority area for woodland network expansion ‘ewco_score’ – the number of points the additional contribution provides per hectare, if awarded ‘ewco_val’ – £ value the additional contribution provides per hectare, if awarded Lineage: First published to support the woodland creation grant under Countryside Stewardship (CS), launched in 2015.  The layers attributes were updated in 2021 to cater for the new England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO) scheme. The layer was edited in 2024 to add the ‘Premium’ priority area, based on data from the Habitat Networks (England) - Ancient Semi Natural Woodland map and the Countryside Stewardship elements removed.

First published to support the woodland creation grant under Countryside Stewardship (CS), launched in 2015.  The layers attributes were updated in 2021 to cater for the new England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO) scheme. The layer was edited in 2024 to add the ‘Premium’ priority area, based on data from the Habitat Networks (England) - Ancient Semi Natural Woodland map and the Countryside Stewardship elements removed.
