Enlarging the Welsh Government’s woodlands and improving their condition and diversity are among the priorities announced in a new report.
In response to the new version of the Woodlands for Wales strategy, NRW has announced its approach and priorities for implementing the strategy in Welsh Government woodlands. NRW manages the woodlands in Wales that are owned by Welsh Ministers on behalf of the nation, covering an area of 126,000 hectares. NRW has identified ten key priorities for the estate to help deliver this strategy in the next 25 years, for example, by “increasing the size of the woodland area on the estate” and “improving its condition and diversity, allowing it to adapt to extreme weather events and climate change and be more resilient to pests and diseases”.
