Recommendation 21
21
Paragraph: 96
Maintain Forestry England monitoring of new woodland compliance with UK Forestry Standard beyond establishment stage.
Conclusion
The reliance on the UK Forestry Standard to ensure the sustainability of planting in areas identified as ‘low risk’ could provide a proportionate risk-mitigation mechanism. For this to operate effectively it is important that Forestry England maintain its monitoring of the compliance of new woodland with the UKFS beyond the establishment stage. We discuss this issue in further detail below.
