Abstract

Afforestation in the United Kingdom is largely a twentieth-century phenomenon and water authorities have been one of the major agencies responsible for its appearance in the landscape. This paper traces the development of afforestation by the Derwent Valley Water Board in the Derwent and Ashop valleys, Derbyshire, between 1936 and 1973. Archive material from the Derwent Valley Water Board (now the Severn Trent Water Authority) is used to illustrate the management problems involved with large-scale afforestation schemes. An assessment of the success of the afforestation is made in relation to the financial, employment and access aims of the scheme.
