We received 4 responses during the consultation period
Overall, the responses supported the forest management proposals, which included ancient woodland restoration, less conifers and a good mix of forest management. Other comments and questions related to low-key parking, concerns about timber haulage through Pentredwr and more information on habitats and flood risk.
As a result, the forest management plans have remained unchanged; further information was provided about future timber haulage; flood risk information was included in the documentation; and other comments were noted for consideration in the day to day management of the forest.
Natural Resources Wales is responsible for the sustainable management of the publicly owned woodlands and forests of Wales. They are managed for the benefit and well-being of the people who visit them and depend on them for their livelihood. This responsibility includes improving their biodiversity and long-term resilience to climate change so that future generations will also be able to enjoy the benefits they provide. Every ten years Natural Resources Wales reviews the long-term management plans for each forest area. These are compiled in a new Forest Resource Plan.
Llangollen Forest Resource Plan consists of seven different forest blocks; Corwen, Cynwyd, Carrog, Nantyr (Ceiriog forest), Coed Foel, Craig-y-Dduallt and Halton Wood, which are located in the Dee and Ceiriog Valleys. These woodlands collectively have a total area of 1,400 ha and have a mixture of conifer and broadleaved tree species:
