The region’s forestry sector is broad-based, covering all
organisations with an interest in wood products, trees and forests. As well
as the timber growing and processing industry, it includes
organisations with social and environmental interests, covering issues such
as health, amenity, landscape, recreation, tourism and regeneration. These
issues form a major part of the scope of the Regional Forest Strategy.
The North East’s Regional Forest Strategy was published in 2005
following a period of public consultation, and sets out the role our trees,
woodlands and forests have over the next twenty years. The
Forestry
Commission is the lead partner on the delivery group and can be
contacted.
The first annual delivery plan covered 2005-06, followed by the Monitoring
Report and Delivery Plan for 2006-08, which covered actions completed in
2006-07 and actions planned to December 2008.
