What
is a Community Forest?
The key concept underlying
Community Forests is environmental regeneration of the
urban fringe.
A Community Forest is planned to be a mosaic of wooded
landscapes and other land uses, such as farmland, meadows,
nature areas, river valleys and public open space. It
will be located on the edge of major towns or cities
– close to where people live and work. Overall,
woodlands will not cover more than 30% of the area,
so it is a "Forest" in the style of the New
Forest. Land ownership is diverse; including farmers,
local authorities, nature conservation organisations
and local businesses. |
