Woodland management plan template/guidance

[RobArb]

Anyone on here regularly do and complete woodland management plans that they have a decent "template" for, or know where the best place would be for me to research the best way to do them.

 

Just need a starting point really, can do the rest meself:biggrin:

Theres a pretty good template in this document mate: http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/guidancenote12.pdf/$file/guidancenote12.pdf

 

You're doing this for the online FdSc with Myerscough aren't you? Us full-timers did this before christmas. The more maps the better, got to; digimap, edina, cranfield soil resources to name a few, pretty good e-maps there.

Also try MAGIC for maps with 'rural designations', 'habitat inventories' and such like.

Rob, you beat me to it. I was gonna post a similar thread but you have saved me the effort.

[RobArb]

Haha, how's it going, you found somewhere yet?

 

I've got a woodland near me that's local authority owned but with no management plan, some of the pics are on here.

 

Going to go back Saturday to get things like soil samples and the like

Very useful FC template, but see if you can find one that's been done using CMS* as well, as they tend to be a lot more structured and complete.

 

* CMSi - Conservation Management System

I've found a 23ha ASNW site of hazel coppice with oak standards owned by a local farmer which hasn't had any formal management for about 50 years. Going back on Friday to get some photos and complete the mapping. I am just going to look for CMS as suggested, thanks.
