Title

National Forest for Wales

Abstract

This dataset shows the extent of the National Forest for Wales. The National Forest for Wales includes a variety of diverse woodlands with a range of ages, sizes, settings and benefits. All National Forest sites are recognised as good quality, well managed woodlands. Some excel in providing access or engagement with their community, some are recognised for the sustainable way they are managed, others focus on the benefits they have for nature. All play their part in helping address the nature and climate emergencies and providing a long-lasting woodland resource for Wales.

This dataset is periodically updated as more forest gets incorporated into the national forest through the status scheme assessment process. Data relating to the Welsh Government Woodland Estates sites put forward for National Forest for Wales Status will be gathered using existing data sources. Other land included from maps supplied by applicants is digitised from aerial photography and OS basemaps and verified using land registry documents. All boundaries and areas of sites are shown only for indicative purposes, are subject to change at any time, and should not be taken as legally binding or definitive in any way.
