Description

Forestry England have explored and managed mineral operations on the nations forest since it was established and wish to continue to develop commercial mineral opportunities across the estate. This must be undertaken in reasonable balance with wider objectives including the production of timber and the interests of conservation and the environment. In promoting the multiple benefits of forestry, we also seek to take careful account of the needs and wishes of stakeholders, including local communities. This framework covers the whole of England. We currently have more than 40 sites in England, made up of a combination of operational sites worked by Tenants, sites worked under leasehold reservation by Landlords, sites used for landfill and 23 in house quarries. As an increasingly specialised industry, we recognise the need to procure competent professional counsel to aid us in the successful management of these sites.
