Restoring Snaizeholme is a 'rare opportunity ' to protect red squirrels, reduce flood risk and provide habitats for otters, kingfishers and black grouse, the Woodland Trust said. The restored forest and peatlands will also help tackle climate change by absorbing more carbon dioxide.

Now the charity is trying to raise £8m for a decades-long programme to restore the forest, providing habitat for threatened species such as woodland birds and black grouse.

Existing dry stone walls currently in place will be maintained to offer shelter for small mammals and lizards, the trust said.
