We have rainforest! But it is threatened. Our temperate rainforests are found in western Britain from Cornwall to Sutherland. It is globally important and home to a rich diversity of wildlife especially the lichens, mosses and ferns which make this habitat so unique and truly special.

    Situation

    Our unique rainforests face many threats. The rich diversity of wildlife found in our rainforests; the lichens, mosses and ferns, is dependent on special conditions; ancient trees, clean air, open space and dappled light. These conditions are being degraded by the spread of invasive species like Rhododendron, grazing type and intensity, tree diseases, and air pollution. Our objective is to reverse the impact of these pressures through active management, public engagement and advocacy.

    Solution

    We will: - bring together partnerships and public support to tackle invasive Rhododendron - deliver habitat improvement, and train and advise land managers to keep our rainforests in top condition - protect lichens from ash dieback - campaign for cleaner air - record, map and monitor our rainforests and their lichens, mosses and ferns, and train volunteers to support this effort - address the severe lack of knowledge of rainforests through public learning and engagement activities
