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.
