Regional Forestry Strategy
The Forestry Commission is one of the lead partners in delivering the Regional Forest Strategy. The North East’s first Regional Forest Strategy published in 2005 sets out the role our trees, woodlands and forests have over the next twenty years in making the region a better place for us all to live, work and do business. The delivery of the Strategy will be co-ordinated via action plans and delivery will be monitored. 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, this 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 consultation for the draft of the Regional Forestry Strategy ended on 31 May 2004 and the final version of the Strategy was published in March 2005, along with the first Annual Delivery Plan covering 2005–2006. In February 2008 the Monitoring Report and Delivery Plan 2006-08 was published. This and the earlier documents are available below.
