A new BTO survey - English Woodland Birds - Get Involved!
A BTO new survey for 2019 plans to provide data on how birds have colonised woods planted in farmland.
Since 1988, over 22,000 farm woods have been planted in England. The woods are mostly small, between 1 and 5 hectares in size, which will make survey coverage quite quick and 
straightforward. These farm woods were planted in a wide variety of settings, ranging from complete isolation through to alongside existing established woodland. This provides a very interesting natural experiment to assess how well birds have colonised these new woodlands on farmland.
Go to the Survey and Projects page for further information including how to register.
