Forestry and woodland policy in Wales
Forestry and woodland policy in Wales
The Climate
Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee carried out an inquiry in
order to assess the Welsh Government's delivery of its Woodlands for Wales
strategy in terms of the four themes set out in the strategy. These are:
- responding to climate change – coping with climate change and helping reduce our carbon footprint
- woodlands for people – serving local needs for health, education and jobs
- a competitive and integrated forest sector – innovative, skilled industries supplying renewable products from Wales
- environmental quality – making a positive contribution to biodiversity, landscapes and heritage, and reducing other environmental pressures.
