Shouldham & Bilney Forest Plan
Overview
Forest Plans define the long term vision for a woodland or a collection of woodlands and set out how management will move towards achieving this vision over the next ten years.
We would like to invite feedback on the proposed Forest Plan covering Shouldham and Bilney. The two forests site either side of the River Nar Valley, within Kings Lynn and West Norfolk District. This online questionnaire forms part of a consultation with stakeholders, that helps to ensure that we achieve an appropriate balance of objectives.
Why your views matter
It is a requirement that all Forestry Commission woodlands are managed to the high standards needed to meet the UK Woodland Assurance Standard that in turn ensure sustainable forest management certification of the Public Forest Estate is maintained.
The Forest Plan is available to download below in PDF format on A4 or alternatively viewable online within the Survey.
The online consultation will run until the Monday 29th of February 2016.
Any comments should be submitted through the online survey form before the closing date.
Feedback received after the closing date may not be able to be considered.
What happens next
This online Stakeholder Consultation closed on the 29th of February 2016. We will examin the feedback and where possible, incorporate suggestions into the Forest Plan.
The Forest Plan will then be submitted to Forest Services, the regulatory arm of the Forestry Commission, for any further consultation required prior to approval.
The approved plan will be made available on the Forest Plans East England web page in April 2016.
