Mill Copse at Yarmouth is now under a Woodland Management Plan.

Creating a woodland management plan can demonstrate sustainable forest management and it supports the planning and implementation of work proposals and their long term monitoring. The plan has been signed off by the Forestry Commission

The woodland management plan gives Wight Nature Fund a structured way to plan and organise the sustainable management of woodland to a common industry standard (the standard which sets out the UK government’s approach to sustainable forestry and woodland management, including standards and requirements, regulations and monitoring, and reporting. It applies to all woodland and woodland operations, regardless of who owns or manages it.)

This woodland management plan sets out how Wight Nature Fund will manage Mill Copse over the next 10 years, and keep it as a healthy enviroment, whilst retaining it’s importance as an asset to the town of Yarmouth and the Isle of Wight.
