Developing a woodland water code: Phase 1 (2023–2025)

This publication provides an overview of the project ‘Developing a Woodland Water Code’.

Lead Author: Romany Vassell

Overview

The aim of this project was to develop a draft Woodland Water Code (WWC) which sets out robust requirements for voluntary woodland creation projects that provide particular water benefits.

Through the sale of Woodland Water Units (WWUs), the WWC aims to help bridge the finance gap and incentivise greater levels of woodland creation in the UK.

This publication provides an overview of Phase 1 of the project.
