Moine Odhar Long Term Forest Plan
Thank you for your interest in proposals for a long-term forest management plan at Moine Odhar which will set out the planned operations for the next 20 years in accordance with the UK Forestry Standard (UKFS), 5th Edition (Published 2023), available to view here: The UK Forestry Standard – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Additionally, the proposed plan will be used to assess Moine Odhar for forest certification under the UK Woodland Assurance Standard (UKWAS).
The UKWAS (endorsed by the Forest Stewardship Council® www.fsc.org, and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification™ www.pefc.org) sets out the management standards which woodland and forest owners, managers and forest certification bodies can use to certify woodland and forest management in the United Kingdom. The Standard, which can be seen at www.ukwas.org.uk, is the product of an inclusive and transparent process which has involved a balanced representation from the UK forestry and environmental communities.
The Standard requires that local people and relevant organisations are made aware when a forest is being evaluated and are able to engage with the manager. Moine Odhar has applied to join the Tilhill Forestry Resource Manager Certification scheme which is certified by the ‘Woodmark Programme’.
The Standard requires that local people and relevant organisations are made aware when a forest is being evaluated and are able to engage with the manager.
