[Archive] The dedication of woodlands – principles and procedure
Lead Author: Forestry Commission
Lead Author: Forestry Commission
It is calculated that, when hostilities ceased in 1945, there were three million acres of privately owned woodlands in Great Britain and that of this acreage only half was productive; and it is well known that not all the productive woodlands were being efficiently managed to produce timber of the quality or quantity of which the land was capable. It was to remedy this situation that the Dedication Scheme was introduced. This Booklet provides information on the Plan of Operations, Forms of Covenant, and procedures.
