Abstract

This dataset was used for scoring Higher Tier Countryside Stewardship applications for Woodland Creation in England for 2016/17 where points were available for Biodiversity objectives. Countryside Stewardship (CS) was launched in 2015 and is a Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) grant scheme. It will contribute around £900 million over six years to help farmers and woodland managers look after the environment. Countryside Stewardship grants are open to those who propose to make the best environmental improvements within their local area. Although it is open to everyone who is eligible to apply it is competitive and targeted.

Quality and validity

Lineage

Developed by Forest Research for the 2015/16 launch of Countryside Stewardship based on priority woodland types selected from the National Forest Inventory. Forest Research applied a proximity model to the priority woodland to categorise the data into High, Medium and Lower priority areas. For Countryside Stewardship 2016/17 the data was re-categorised to High and Lower only. No boundary changes accompanied this reclassification.
