Ancient woodland is defined as having existed continuously since 1600. It is of great historical and ecological importance and is irreplaceable. Leicestershire and Rutland have little ancient woodland and it is distributed unevenly, mainly as a consequence of historic land use patterns. A recent project to update the ancient woodland inventory has produced a revised map of ancient woodland across the area and the results will be presented.

Please check the venue, as we may be back in the New Walk Museum or still at the Quaker Meeting House.
