Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Gardiner of Kimble on 16 June (HL298), which interested parties have been involved in the preparatory work on keeping public forests and woodlands in trust for the nation, in line with the 2012 Independent Panel on Forestry’s recommendations.


This question was answered on 29th July 2015

Since the publication of the Independent Panel on Forestry report in 2012, we have engaged with over 50 interested parties on a range of forestry related matters, primarily through their membership of the national Forestry Forum whose next meeting is scheduled for October. This engagement has included preparatory work to develop proposals to keep the forests in trust for the nation.
