Trees, woodlands and forests

The North East’s Regional Forest Strategy sets out the proposed role our trees, woodlands and forests will have over the next twenty years in making the region a better place for us all to live, work and do business. The strategy has a number of action plans with outputs, that we will be taking forward.

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.
