Hugh Bayley – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many hectares of Forestry Commission public forest estate there was in Yorkshire and the Humber in each year since 2008-09; and what the make-up of such forest was.

Dan Rogerson

The latest figures for area of the Forestry Commission public forest estate in the Yorkshire and Humber region are set out in the table below. The data is organised to show area of coniferous woodland and broadleaved woodland. Land on the public forest estate which does not fall into either of these two categories is shown as ‘other’; this includes open habitats and land waiting to be restocked after felling.
