woodland plan
Dear Sir or Madam,
we need to set up a 5 year plan to create a large network of woodland/meadows all over the uk planting only native broad leafed trees a network would create corridors for wildlife joining up existing pockets of fragmented reserves enabling them to adapt to climate change woodlands also benefit us humans creating a clean environment, improving our health and absorb co2 from the atmosphere a win win situation
so come on please for this to happen all goverments welsh, English and Scottish will have to join forces we would need to work with scientists and conservationist like the woodland trust, rspb and with landowners
Yours faithfully,
Carl Holmes

Dear Mr Holmes
Thank you for your email of 10 January about your idea of a five-year
woodland plan.
The Government published its Strategy for England?s Trees, Woods and
Forests in June 2007. The Strategy sets out the Government?s aims for
England?s woodlands over the next 10 to 15 years including ensuring that
existing and newly planted trees, woods and forests are resilient to the
impacts of climate change and also contribute to the way in which
biodiversity and natural resources adjust to a changing climate. The
Strategy can be found on the Defra web site at
[1]www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-countryside/pdf/forestry/20070620-forestry.pdf.
The Government asked the Forestry Commission to work with Natural England
to develop a Delivery Plan for implementing the Strategy. The Delivery
Plan, published on 16 December 2008, details national activities and
actions that will help deliver regional and local results. It runs until
2012 and will then be revised.
No one organisation, or Government alone, can effectively address the
issues facing our trees, woods and forests, or the opportunities they
present to society now and in the future. The Plan signals a new approach
to working in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders and
organisations. Many of these have been involved in sharing their thinking
about the objectives, activities and actions that the Delivery Plan
contains.
The Delivery Plan is complemented by a more detailed List of Actions that
records what Forestry Commission England, Natural England and the many
national partners involved are actually doing. The Delivery Plan and the
List of Actions can be found on the Forestry Commission website at:

Yours sincerely
