St Helens Forest Plan Consultation 2017

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 St Helens Forest Plan which include Sutton Manor, Wheatacre, Whiston, Maypole, Upper Moss Side, Brickfield and Red Quarry and lie within the Bold Forest Park and Mersey Forest.  This forms part of our consultation with stakeholders, that helps to ensure that we achieve an appropriate balance of objectives.balance of objectives.

The Plan for St Helens woodlands is a new Forest Plan and 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 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.

This part of the consultation will run until 3rd March 2017.

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.
