A scoping consultation was initiated via the DAERA website from 03 March 2021 to 30 April 2021. The main reason for the consultation was to involve people and organisations in the development of a new forestry plan for the Armagh Forestry Planning Area. The consultation was designed to reflect the wide ranging social, environmental and economic aspects of forestry in Northern Ireland in a way that is likely to be both of interest to stakeholders, and, relevant to forestry planning.
