Townclose Hills Woodland Management - Kippax, UK - Flora and Fauna Information Signs on Waymarking.com

The woodland stands on an outcrop of magnesian limestone and is managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Leeds City Council.

The woods are managed by coppicing, a technique where are portion of the wood known as a coupe is cut down in the winter. New shoots grow rapidly in the spring rather than a single stem and is a way of ensuring more light reaches the woodland floor encouraging the development of ground flora. This gives a greater variety of food sources for invertebrates and birds and mammals.

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Leeds City Council are working collaboratively to deliver a better future for Yorkshire's wildlife. Townclose Hills is one of ten sites owned by Leeds City Council and managed in partnership with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. By working together we hope to make Leeds a green city with thriving wildlife populations. These ten sites sit within the Lower Aire Valley, a corridor of green spaces that allow wildlife populations to move and expand, thus increasing their chances of survival in a changing climate.
