Survey: Help shape the future of England's forests

As the response to the Independent Panel’s report is being prepared, DEFRA are looking at how they create more forests, manage all of those forests that already exist, make the best use of funding from a range of sources, get communities more involved in woodlands and make sure we have the right trees in the right places.

As they work on future policy, they want to hear your views and ideas on how you think they can best meet the challenges. DEFRA know what they need to do – but they now need to decide how to do it.  A good response to the first set of questions was received and these are being analysed by the Forestry Commission. A new set of questions have been published to get more information on the key issues around the Panel’s report.
