Bog woodlands

Bog woodlands is an extremely rare habitat type in the UK. They occur under rare combinations of physical circumstances and typically have scattered trees across the surface of a bog, forming open woodland in a relatively stable ecological relationship, without the loss of bog species.
In Scotland, bog woodlands normally form part of the mosaic of natural forest types within the wider Caledonian Pinewood habitat. It contains important populations of a number of rare birds including Scottish crossbill, osprey, capercaillie and crested tit.
