Sandhutton Forest Plan

Overview

Forestry England's Yorkshire District is consulting on a newly revised forest plan for Sandhutton.

This project covers:

• Increase the diversity of the age structure and improve landscape impact by maintaining current felling patterns. Enhance external and internal landscape edges, using appropriate silvicultural systems, including LISS
• Consider the selection of alternative main tree species that will contribute towards a greater range of species diversity, to maintain or increase timber productivity and increase resilience to plant health and biosecurity threats
• Manage stands of productive mixed conifer and broadleaf, looking to retain existing conifer stands where appropriate and manage through LISS
• Maintain and manage a mosaic of open and wooded heath at Worlds End Plantation, maintaining its current condition
