The Eryri National Park Authority are working with Coed Cadw to help develop a Tree and Woodland Strategy that will help inform decision-making regarding current management and protection of these valuable habitats. It will consider the location, type and scale of tree establishment and planting initiatives, ensuring that they contribute positively to nature recovery, climate mitigation, business and community resilience and the unique character and wellbeing of Eryri.
The strategy aims to provide guidance and a vision for tree planting initiatives, considering the ecological, social, and cultural aspects of the region. The Authority recognizes the need to balance carbon reduction and environmental preservation with the needs of local communities. By adopting a co-design approach, involving stakeholders and incorporating local knowledge, the strategy aims to be comprehensive, effective, and sustainable in managing trees and woodlands in the National Park. The goal is to ensure that tree planting initiatives contribute positively to climate goals and the wellbeing of Eryri and its residents.
