8. Native Woodland Issues of Concern Direct land take losses for development threaten woodland sites, as well as indirect damage from development adjacent to woodland sites which can lead to isolation of these habitats. Overuse of amenity planting as opposed to native planting on development and ex-industrial sites. Unsympathetic management, such as overgrazing, planting of non-native species, or a lack of management can lead to deterioration of site quality. NATIVE WOODLAND TARGETS Maintain current extent of ancient semi-natural woodland. Maintain current extent of native woodland. Where development may lead to loss of woodland, ensure adequate mitigation or compensation. Ensure where possible, that all areas of semi-natural woodlands are managed in a way that will maintain or restore their nature conservation interest. Create native woodland on 10 new sites. Increase linkage between fragmented woodland sites by the creation of green corridors on 4 sites. Promote the value of native woodland to the public by undertaking 4 events per year. Manage/ replant 3 sites of amenity woodland to native woodland. Newcastle & North Tyneside Biodiversity Action Plan 34 Dutch Elm Disease has had a significant effect on Elm populations and altered the structure and composition of many woodlands. Fragmentation and edge effects occur as a result of development and farming practices contributing to the isolation of woodland sites. Invasion by non-native or highly competitive species. Lack of standing dead wood.
