England Tree Strategy - Confor members views

England tree strategy - Confor members views

Government are consulting on an England Tree Strategy, and have released a consultation document and questions. If you are a member business operating in England, we need your views to inform our response.

Confor are collating views of its members on key questions in the consultation. This will enable us to provide strong evidence as to how the Strategy can best secure and grow the forestry sector in England.

Please complete all the questions on this page. For the rest of the survey feel free to miss out questions on which you do not have a view. Please complete the survey by 24 August.

Your answers will be used to inform Confor's response to the consultation. As well as rating the proposals in the tree strategy, we have asked you to provide any evidence from your own experience as to why policies will work well or poorly: we have been told that views backed by evidence will carry more weight.

Please also submit your own response to the consultation, which is open until 11 September and covers some additional topics such as urban trees, by following this link.

If you are not yet a member of Confor but are interested in joining, please contact caroline@confor.org.uk.
