This chart should not be relied upon for an indication of species status as variations in recording effort can heavily affect the count of occurrences and occupied 1km squares.

Threatened species recovery actions

Actions from Threatened Species Recovery Actions 2025 Baseline published by Natural England.

Status survey/review

Survey to establish whether the species still occurs in England

Targeted monitoring

At sites where the species occurs, document age structure for potential host veteran trees and future veterans, to determine whether there is an adequate rate of replacement
