UK Best Practice Guidance - Bracken Management
With Asulox no longer available to treat bracken, there was a need to update the best practice guidance on bracken management, which was previously heavily weighted towards chemical treatment.
The UK nature conservation bodies, (Natural England, NatureScot, Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA, Northern Ireland), Natural Resources Wales) and the UK national historic advisors, (Historic England, Historic Environment Scotland, Communities Northern Ireland and Cadw) commissioned revised guidance on bracken management.
We have an interest in appropriate management of bracken to protect biodiversity, landscape and the historic environment, in line with our statutory purposes. The revised guidance has been produced to promote best practice in bracken management across the UK and will be updated as further information emerges.
