Emergent Forests

Forest Type 5 (FT5)

The aim of Forest Type 5 – Emergent Forests is to provide support for the retention and appropriate management of suitable areas of ‘scrub’. These areas represent an important biodiversity feature with the potential for delivering many ecosystem services.

The protection and enhancement of existing emergent native forests will be achieved through a range of measures and may include protective fencing, removal of non-natives and invasive exotics, respacing and enrichment planting of native species.
