The Dedication woodland Scheme (Basis I and II) was introduced in 1947 in order to encourage landowners to retain their land in forestry and to introduce good forestry practice. Basis III was introduced in 1974, providing grants for new planting and additional supplements for broadleaves. The Dedication Scheme was closed to new applicants in 1981. Land still under Dedication could continue to be within the scheme but Dedication would terminate on a change of ownership. Dedication schemes without a Plan of Operations and therefore receiving no grant, are deemed to be under Negative Covenant.

This dataset shows the area of land that has been dedicated under Section 16 of the CRoW Act by organisations/individuals other than Natural Resources Wales (NRW).

When using this data to understand the extent of Open Access, it should be used in conjunction with Open Land, Open Country, Registered Common Land, Other Statutory Access Land and Other Dedicated Land from the same years.

This data is the source dataset for the Forestry Commissions Headline performance Indicator: Percentage of woodland in active management (including the Public Forest Estate).

This Indicator forms part of the Forestry Commissions Corporate Plan Performance Indicators and Woodland Indicators 2020/21.

For the purposes of the corporate indicator, 'Actively Managed’ woodland is currently defined using the following FC administrative data sources. It is recognised that there are other woodlands that could be considered to be 'managed'.

1) Any English Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) Woodland Creation Grant (WCG) whose first instalment payment date was < 15 years ago at the end of the reporting period.

2) Any English Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) Woodland Management Grant (WMG) whose first instalment payment date was < 15 years ago at the end of the reporting period.

3) Any English Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) Woodland Planning Grant (WPG) whose first instalment payment date was < 15 years ago at the end of the reporting period.

4) Any English Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) Woodland Improvement Grant(WIG) whose first instalment payment date was < 15 years ago at the end of the reporting period.

5) Any Farm Woodland Premium Scheme (FWPS) and Farm Woodland Premium (FWPS) whose scheme approval date was <15 years ago at the end of the reporting period.

6) Any Woodland Grants Scheme Mk3 (WGS3) schemes that have been in contract in the 15 years up until the end of the reporting period.

7) Any Felling Licence Applications (FLA) whose registration date was <15 years ago at the end of the reporting period.

8) All Public Forest Estate land owned and/or managed by the Forestry Commission at the end of the reporting period.

9) All woodland managed by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation department of the MOD classified as a Training Area.

10) Any Countryside Stewardship Woodland Creation agreement whose first payment date was < 15 years ago at the end of the reporting period.

EXCLUDED: EWGS Woodland Assessment Grant (WAG), EWGS Woodland Regeneration Grant (WRG), Forest Plans, Dedication, WGS2, WGS1 and Natural England’s HLS.

The 'denominator' used for calculation of the indicator, i.e. the figure used as the entire woodland area in England, was that obtained from the most recent version of the National Forest Inventory (NFI) at the time of computation.

The administrative data sources are integrated to produce a single layer indicating woodland management status and this is provided as a File Geodatabase Raster.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The purpose of this study was to take stock of the timber resources of woodlands and open grown trees in Great Britain and to assess the environmental status of trees in the urban and rural landscape by counties in England and Wales and by Forestry Commission regions (conservancies) in Scotland. Main Topics: Variables Area of woodland by forest type, age class, species, volume by ownership; estimate of the number of non-woodland trees by species, location, size class, health, and estimate of the volume of non- woodland trees. Woodlands: three stage sampling system using O.S. 1:50 000 maps, aerial photographs and ground surveys for all woodlands not managed by Forestry Commission or under a dedicated approved grant scheme for which records were available and could be added to the survey results. Non-woodlands: two stage stratified random sampling system using aerial photographs and ground visits. Compilation or synthesis of existing material Analysis of aerial photographs

Dessa data är källdatasetet för skogskommissionernas kapacitetsprestanda. Indikator: Andel skogsmark i aktiv förvaltning (inklusive offentlig skog) ägodel)". Denna indikator utgör en del av skogsbrukskommissionens verksamhetsplan. Indikatorer och skogsmarksindikatorer 2014/15.

På FC:s webbplats finns mer information om resultatindikatorerna: http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/forestry.nsf/byunique/infd-8kmhu6

För företagsindikatorn definieras för närvarande ”aktivt förvaltad” skogsmark. med hjälp av följande administrativa datakällor från FC. Det är känt att det finns andra skogsområden som kan anses vara "förvaltade".

Alla engelska Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) Woodland Creation Grant (WCG) vars första avbetalningsdag var < 15 år sedan vid rapporteringens slut period. 2) Alla engelska Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) Woodland Management Grant (WMG) vars första avbetalningsdag var < 15 år sedan i slutet av rapporteringsperioden. Alla engelska Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) Woodland Planning Grant (WPG) vars första avbetalningsdag var < 15 år sedan vid rapporteringens slut period. 4) Alla engelska Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) Woodland Improvement Grant (WIG) vars första avbetalningsdatum var < 15 år sedan vid slutet av rapporteringsperiod. 5) Alla system för jordbruks- och skogsmarksbidrag (FWPS) och jordbruks- och skogsmarksbidrag (FWP) vars systemgodkännandedatum var <15 år sedan i slutet av rapporteringen period. 6) Alla Woodland Grants Scheme Mk3 (WGS3) system som har varit i kontrakt under de 15 åren fram till rapporteringsperiodens slut. 7) Alla Felling License Applications (FLA) vars registreringsdatum var <15 år sedan i slutet av rapporteringsperioden. 8) All offentlig skogsmark som ägs och/eller förvaltas av skogskommissionen i slutet av rapporteringsperioden. 9) All skogsmark som förvaltas av försvarsinfrastrukturorganisationens avdelning för MOD klassas som ett träningsområde.

exkluderade: EWGS Woodland Assessment Grant (WAG) och EWGS Woodland Regeneration Grant (WRG), Forest Plans, Dedication, WGS2, WGS1 och Natural Englands HLS.

Den ”nämnare” som används för att beräkna indikatorn, dvs. den siffra som används som helhet. skogsområde i England, var det som erhölls från den senaste versionen av Nationell skogsinventering (NFI) vid beräkningstidpunkten.

De administrativa datakällorna är integrerade för att producera ett enda lager som indikerar skogsmarksförvaltningsstatus och detta tillhandahålls som en georefererad .tiff rasterfil här. Cellvärden: 0 = Obrukad skogsmark, 1 = Aktivt brukad skogsmark. Cellstorlek: 25 meter. Se till att följande bekräftelse visas på alla papperskopior: © Crown upphovsrätt och databas rätt "år".
