evidence: NI’s official Woodland Register records woodland for each local council area, rather than for parliamentary constituencies like Lagan Valley. However, Lagan Valley is mostly contained within Lisburn & Castlereagh, the council with the lowest proportion of woodland cover, while the rest of the constituency is in Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon – the second least wooded council. There is no comprehensive, publicly-available data for ancient woodland.
