The trees occurred as isolated individuals or in clumps on areas which, at least, had partial protection from grazing. Livestock seem to prevent tree recruitment from occurring openly on the hill slopes. The area does appear to have the potential to regenerate, and its nature conservation would benefit from any wooded addition.
A series of
experimental enclosures has been recommended to test the areas potential
ability to regenerate. This could become a feasibility to explore the effectiveness
of management techniques in achieving woodland regeneration.
