Semantics but you can't restore an ancient wood, surely?
- Semantically, if you are planting a wood on the known site of an ancient wood, you are restoring an ancient wood. Though of course, it won’t be ancient woodland.
  
  Sounds like a recreation more than a restoration.
Having visited Longash wood, it is a pretty special place. Will be good to see this kind of habitat restored
Devon, that's… a while ago.
