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 you or your organisation to leave some feedback on our proposed revision to the Forest Plan covering Queen Elizabeth Country Park, Ditcham Wood, Head Down Plantation and West Harting Down in Hampshire. 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 Forest Plan for Queen Elizabeth Country Park, Ditcham Wood, Head Down Plantation and West Harting Down is currently being revised. We are therefore asking for your feedback on the the management proposals and the objectives in the plan.
It is a requirement that all Forestry Commission woodlands are managed in line with the UK Woodland Assurance Standard certification scheme. This helps to fufill our objectives as sustainable land managers within the wider Public Forest Estate.
The Forest Plan is available to download below in PDF format or alternatively viewable online within the Survey.
This part of the consultation will run until 7th November 2016
What happens next
Once this online Stakeholder Consultation has closed, we will examine 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.
