The species i was going to use/plant, were the same as is growing plus :-
Betula's
Sorbus
Quercus
Salix
Corylus avalena
Pinus sylvesteris, and so on. I want to try and plabnt as many native trees as possible, as this is what grows in the woodland. From my studys, and from my own common knowledge, i would say that they would be fine. If not can someone let me know otherwise.
Thank you.

species wise you sound fine - however the point about local provenance is that species have regional variations, so it is a good idea to plant trees sourced from the same area as the wood you are planting into rather than planting trees brought in from afar or even abroad, as some comercial tree nurseries do.
