This dataset targeted the English Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) Woodland Creation Grant (WCG) Additional Contribution (AC) for 2010/2011 – 2011/2012 in locations where woodland creation was identified as a regional priority and for the purposes of the grant, with the goal to deliver rural green infrastructure and climate adaptation improvements.
The WCG AC priority area is taken from the composite Woodland Opportunity Maps (WOM) for the West Midlands. The composite WOM was created in 2007 through consultation with local authorities and other interested groups. A series of theme maps were produced at that time that identified where woodlands could best contribute to improving the environment and where significant woodland creation is desirable.
