Piped spring water is utilized for cooking and washing. Utilization of physical resources within the woodland, such as water, solar, and mineral.The planting of additional native broadleaved species, such as Wild Cherry and Small-leaved Lime, will increase the biodiversity of the woodland by attracting in the native invertebrate fauna characteristic of those tree species and will also benefit the existing invertebrate fauna by providing additional nectar sources. Planting of trees to enhance the quantities and diversity of native broadleaved species and to provide additional native species for green woodworking.Only a relatively small amount of planting is necessary for this purpose because the small amounts of timber utilized as described above will easily be replaced by the natural growth and reproduction of the existing woodland. Planting of trees to replace utilized timber.This will only be practised on the most utilizable timber trees, leaving most of the trees to take their natural form and be a host for Ivy and the fauna that depends on or benefits from Ivy. Removal of lower branches and Ivy from some trees.Much of the cut but non-utilizable timber is left on the woodland floor, rather than burned, to provide decaying wood habitats for fungi and invertebrates.Much of this will be available as off-cuts from the previously-mentioned cropping of timber. Cutting small amounts of timber for firewood. The coppicing and thinning will also benefit the field layer plants of the woodland by letting in more light on a cyclical basis to allow the field layer species to increase in vegetative growth and flowering, with a consequential benefit to the invertebrate fauna of the woodland.Coppicing and thinning to provide small amounts of green timber for traditional green woodwork products including chairs, stools, hurdles, and smaller objects such as spatulas, and mallets.Coppicing and thinning to provide small amounts of timber for temporary constructions.Construction of temporary shelters within the woodland to accomodate the use of traditional woodland craft equipment such as pole lathes and shaving horses.Sensitive maintenance of tracks and pathways for access to the woodland's timber resources and educational areas without causing damage to the woodland habitat.The main management activities at Sallerton Wood are:
