Community Supported Forestry

[Mark Simmonds]

The Plunkett Foundation recently facilitated a meeting between the Forestry Commission and various groups and individuals interested in Woodland based Social Enterprise. The purpose was to consider a response to Defra's recently published Government Forestry and Woodland Policy Statement which incorporates the Government’s response to the Independent Panel on Forestry’s Final Report.  Here is a link to this report - http://www.defra.gov.uk/publications/files/pb13871-forestry-policy-statement.pdf.

Plunkett co-ordinated a letter in response to this report, which is attached to this post.
