On planning a forest

Article Abstract:

The project to create a 'National Forest' in the North Midlands of England is an interesting study of strategy and planning and how it is affected by the prevailing political culture. The proposed Forest differs from other rural designations such as National Parks because it is not a case of preserving or expanding a forest, but creating one. The site chosen for the Forest covers 194 sq miles and is a diverse area with six distinct regions. 'Planning' has consisted mainly of building popular support and developing an incentives scheme, but farmers have proved reluctant to plant trees.
