Abstract
The best yewwoods of the Iberian Peninsula are within the autonomous community of Castilla y León, on the southern of the Cantabrian Mountains in the provinces of Zamora, León, Palencia and Burgos. However, these yewwoods are threatened woodlands that occupying very small extensions, appearing as a botanical relics in the region. Recent publication of Decree 63/2007 of 14 June, by the Junta de Castilla y León autonomous government, by establishing the Protected Flora Catalog of Castilla y León, considers the yew as �preferential treatment specie". This Decree requires also the drafting of a management plan for the specie. To address these plans is necessary to advance on a territorial perspective. In the present work it was undertaken a first approach to the yew-tree forest of Castilla and León from a regional perspective (physical, administrative framework, socioeconomic, protected areas and environmental risks), by also mapping their distribution in 63 locations on a scale of 1:50,000.
