I did have correspondance with the Gloucester Wildlife Trust when they were finalising their plans to reintroduce the Pine Marten into the Forest of Dean.
The Ruislip Woods NNR 726 acres, it turns out are at least an order of magnitude too small to support a self sustaining Pine Marten population of 200 breeding pairs.
And, that's before anyone considers the inevitable deaths caused by vehicles on the roads that sub-divide the woods.
However if the Chilterns ever reintroduce Pine Martens,
we might, eventually get an overspill population.
