My story

 
Juniper woodland was once an iconic feature of our landscape, its habitat and the trees themselves supporting a wealth of unique and interesting plants and animals.  Today, Juniper is largely reduced to small fragmented colonies and lone individuals.   Many trees are often over a hundred years old and, unsurprisingly, are no longer very successful at producing a new generation!

In Southern England, many counties have recorded losses of Juniper between 70-80%.

Climate change projections suggest in 80 years time, Juniper will disappear from much of southern Europe. If this happens, the UK could become the last bastion of this much-loved plant. Plantlife is trialling a range of novel habitat management techniques to help Juniper to regenerate successfully.

In Scotland more than a third of remaining Juniper sites are now under threat.

Plantlife is acting to prevent the loss of Juniper and restore habitat to make it suitable not only for Juniper but a range of other threatened wild plants and insects.

Please help us continue our wild plant conservation in England, Scotland and Wales.

-         £10 could buy a vegetation sampling frame (quadrat).

-         £30 could buy two mattocks for turf stripping and digging out scrub.

-         £50 could buy 50 tree guards to protect young saplings.

-         £100 could buy a basic GPS unit, which accurately records the location of threatened plants.

We need your help to save our most threatened plants!
