Abstract
The National Trust owns and manages considerably more historic parklands and other types of pasture-woodlands than any other conservation body in the British Isles. These include one virtually intact medieval forest and fragments of others, as well as more than one hundred historic parks and many wooded commons. This special responsibility is described, both in terms of the assemblages of plants and animals now protected by the Trust, and in terms of the active management programmes for their conservation. Management issues of immediate concern on Trust properties are identified.
