Woods For All

asNeeded

The Woods for All (WfA) dataset indicates woodlands, or parts of woodlands, to which the public has access. This includes areas designated for statutory public access or with permissive access, as well as 20-metre-wide woodland linear corridors along Public Rights of Way (PRoW). These corridors indicate parts of woodlands that people can experience while using public paths. It is important to note that the dataset has not been ground-truth tested, meaning there is potential for errors or omissions. Additionally, it may not yet include all updates from highway authorities, or landowners regarding permissive access. For these reasons, whether or not the public has access to a particular woodland should always be verified through alternative sources or direct consultation with relevant authorities or landowners.
