Ropsley Woodlands Forest Plan 2026 Consultation

Overview

We would like to invite feedback on the proposed Ropsley Woodlands Forest Plan.

The Ropsley Woodlands total 208.8ha and comprises the fragmented individual woods of Ropsley Rise, Boothby Great, Boothby Little and Ingoldsby. They are situated inside South Kesteven District, up to 10km southwest of Grantham and within 5km of Ropsley village

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.

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 England woodlands are managed to the high standards needed to meet the Forest Stewardship Council ® (FSC®) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification™ (PEFC™). All Forestry England’s forests and woods are independently certified as sustainably managed, to continue to benefit future generations.

The forest plan is available to download as a PDF below and can be viewed as part of the questionnaire.

The online consultation will run until 26th February 2026. Any comments should be submitted through the online survey form before the closing date. Feedback received after the closing date will not be considered.
