Heathland

The UK includes around 95,000 ha of lowland heathland. These areas consist of a range of conditions, from dense heather and lichen heath to acid grassland, which supports a rich variety of wildlife. Current threats include lack of management leading to invasion of bracken and scrub and fragmentation due to agriculture, forestry and development etc.
