The Habitat Creation Guide for Lowland Derbyshire is a publication produced exclusively by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust. This essential new reference guide is intended for use by anyone who has an interest in successfully recreating natural wildlife habitats across the county. The guide outlines best practice recommendations for creating each main habitat type including grassland, woodland, wetland and hedgerows. Most importantly this is the first guide to recommend plant species for each habitat by outlining plant mixes that you would find naturally for each habitat in different areas of Derbyshire, reflecting the local distinctiveness of the county. These lists will prove an invaluable tool in choosing the right plants for successful habitat creation, wherever you are in Lowland Derbyshire. The guide, along with the planting lists, has been written in consultation with English Nature and Forestry Commission, and conforms to NVC (National Vegetation Classification) habitat types and English Nature's Natural Areas.
