The word woodland can refer to quite a range of habitats; essentially, it describes land covered with woody plants! Here in the UK, we began to have substantial woodland cover in the Mesolithic period - half of England was woodland in the Bronze Age, but over time and human population growth this number has declined. Just 5% of Britain was woodland around 120 years ago, but conservation efforts have increased this to around 13% now.
With their diverse range of species, woodlands offer such a unique vibe when it comes to interior decorating; from mythical ancient woodland to sundappled broadleaved, Caledonian pine and Celtic rainforest to wet and boggy woodlands, there's no shortage of inspiration for your home to be taken from woodland flora and fauna.

DID YOU KNOW?Ancient woodland refers to an area of woodland that has continuously existed since 1600 (1750 if you're in Scotland). As it was uncommon to plant new woodlands before this time, any woodland present then is likely to be natural, and more accurate maps being created around this time shows the land having had tree cover. Ancient woodland doesn't necessarily mean untouched by humans, though! Managing and preserving these unique habitats is key.

DID YOU KNOW?Mushrooms are fungi, but not all fungi are mushrooms! The name mushroom refers to the fruiting body of a fungus. Mushrooms are the only produce source of vitamin D, and depending on type, can have B vitamins, phosphorus, or potassium. But did you also know that portobello, cremini, and button mushrooms are actually the same mushroom? They're simply harvested at different stages of maturity!
