Harbottle & Holystone Forest Design Plan April 2016

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 you or your organisation to leave some feedback on our proposed revision to the Forest Plan covering Harbottle & Holystone, Northumberland. This forms part of our consultation with stakeholders, that helps to ensure that we achieve an appropriate balance of objectives.

The Plan for Harbottle & Holystone 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 this rewrite for this woodland.

It is also 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 draft Forest Plan is available to download below in PDF format or alternatively viewable alongside the consultation questions.

This part of the consultation will run for 4th April 2016 until 1st May 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.
