Consultation for the Down Forestry Planning Area is open until November 30, and we invite relevant stakeholders to engage in the formal process.

The consultation is intended to enable stakeholders to become involved in the process of developing revised forest plans. The public are invited to express their views, opinions, interests or concerns and share any information held by them or their organisation.
Comments will be considered in the preparation of draft forest plans.
The consultations started on 22 September and ends on 30 November 2022. If you have any queries please contact forestry.planning@daera-ni.gov.uk
