Course Description

Forest management plans are a central feature of forest management. They define the objectives of management for a forest or part of a forest, and set out a programme of activities for a fixed period of time, usually five years. Forest management plans comprise long and short term management objectives, description of the forest, overview of past management practices, the planning structure and management prescriptions to be adopted, prescriptions for environment and protection and a financial forecast for the plan period.
