Delamere Forest Plan 2015

Closed 10 Jul 2015

Opened 18 Jun 2015

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 fifty years.

We would like to invite you or your organisation to leave some feedback on our proposed Forest Plan covering Delamre Forest and its outlying woodlands which include Hopyards & Uplands in Cheshire.  This forms part of our consultation with stakeholders, that helps to ensure that we achieve an appropriate balance of objectives.

 

Why your views matter

The Plan for Delamere has come up for renewal.  We are therefore asking for your feedback to ensure the objectives are considered and balanced for the proposals being put forward in the new Forest Plan.

It is also a requirement that all Forestry Commission woodlands are managed to the high standards needed to meet the UK Woodland Assurance Standard (UKWAS) 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.

This part of the consultation will run for 4 weeks until 10 July 2015.

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.

A public 'Drop in Meeting' has been arraged at the Delamere office CW8 2JD between 15:30 and 19:30 on Tuesday 30 June where the public can come along and discuss the plan proposals with Forerstry Commission staff.

What happens next

The online Stakeholder Consultation has now closed.  We are examining the feedback and where possible, will incorporate suggestions into the Forest Plan.

We will then submit the Forest Plan to Forest Services, the regulatory arm of the Forestry Commission, for any further consultation required prior to approval.
