Sustainable Forest Management and Tree Felling Regulation
The Forestry Act (NI) 2010 manages forests for environmental and biodiversity protection, regulating the felling of trees in private woodland in accordance with the Forestry Standard.
Sustainable forest management, as set out by the Forestry Standard, is a fundamental part of forest policy in the north of Ireland. One of the purposes of the Forestry Act (NI) 2010 is to manage forests to help protect the environment and biodiversity. Unless otherwise exempt, the Forestry Act and associated subordinate legislation, regulates the felling of trees in private woodland.
