How should I manage a woodland to encourage wild flowers?

Management involves managing light and weeds. Woodland herbaceous species need light for continued survival and spread. They respond to receiving light periodically so that flowering is encouraged and seeds are set.

When plantations reach the thicket stage shrubs may be coppiced or standard trees thinned to allow in more light. In areas with moderate to high light levels it is necessary to control the growth of invasive weed species. The growth of some competitive weed species e.g. Common Nettle (Urtica dioica), Cow Parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris), Cleavers (Galium aparine), Brambles (Rubus fruticosus agg.), Docks (Rumex spp.) and grasses, such as Couch (Elymus repens), may need to be checked by cutting in early and late Summer in the first two growing seasons after introductions have been made.

Only if the weed problem becomes very bad will selective herbicides be necessary. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
