Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change – in the Senedd at 2:05 pm on 21 September 2022.
Thank you. Our planning policies set out a strong framework for the protection of trees, including ancient woodlands. We are amending the Forestry Act 1967 to provide better protection for the environment and a more effective deterrent for illegal felling. Our sustainable farm scheme will provide support to protect and manage ancient woodlands.
