Paragraph: 36
Overlapping woodland creation strategies lack clarity and long-term vision for forestry objectives.
Conclusion
There are currently multiple overlapping strategies which purport to articulate the UK Government’s ambitions, actions, and objectives for woodland creation. Stakeholders are concerned that it is unclear how the Government’s policy objectives for forestry and the timber sector align with its land use and decarbonisation policies. Furthermore, it is not clear what will replace the England Trees Action Plan when it lapses in 2024 to give long term direction for Government’s goals for woodlands.
