Background Clough woodlands - areas of steep-sided woodland on the edge of open moorland - have declined over the years, leading to small fragmented woodlands with poor connectivity for wildlife, and a decline in biodiversity associated with Clough woodland flora and fauna. High grazing pressure on former Clough woodlands can result in reduced soil and slope stability. The loss of woodland canopy adjacent to watercourses has led to a reduction in riparian shading, which can increase water temperature and have a detrimental effect on freshwater ecology and chemistry. The Cloughs are prone to rapid run-off and subsequent erosion, which can increase flood risk and impact on water quality. The project aims to replace lost Clough woodlands.
