Management Plans provided a simpler alternative to Forest
Plans for woodlands under 100 hectares. They are required as part of the
eligibility criteria for SRDP grants. However no grant payments are available
for the preparation of management plans. The Management Plan must give a clear
and concise description of the woodland and the indicative management proposals
up to 10 years. These must be in accordance with the principles of sustainable
forest management as defined by the UK Forestry Standard.
Basic attribute information is captured during the
digitising process. This is subsequently joined to more comprehensive
information which is entered in an Excel spreadsheet by Scottish Forestry Conservancy
staff.
