Practice Guide
Provides a step-by-step guide to the design techniques used in the forest management planning process. Applies to the creation of new forests and woodlands, whether by planting or natural regeneration, and the management of existing forests and woodlands. Mainly focuses on larger forest areas generally of plantation origin which usually has a complex range of issues to be considered or a longer time period for management activity to be programmed. Also applies to forests and woodlands on the public and private estate across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Aimed at forest and woodland owners and managers, forestry practitioners and all those involved in forest planning and the preparation of forest management plans, particularly with evaluating and approving plans and proposals, such as staff involved in grants and licences, regulatory staff, local authorities, and other agencies with a statutory role in the consultation process. Supported by a number of worked examples that show the development of the forest management planning process for typical landscape types found across the UK. The landscapes in these examples vary in scale and they serve to illustrate appropriate design techniques for different landscape types, as far as the development of the final sketch design.
