Have your say on how the Council plans to manage and enhance tree and woodland across West Northants

Residents are being asked to share their views on a strategy that sets out a vision for the future treescape of West Northamptonshire.

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) is in the final stages of developing the tree and woods strategy that will help to manage trees across the area more effectively for the next twenty years.

The Council recognises that well planted, managed and enhanced tree and woodland cover can deliver vital environmental, social and economic benefits now and into the future.

This consultation follows initial work carried out by the Council’s Scrutiny Committee, as well as the results of a consultation that took place over winter 2023/24. This background ensures that local issues and priorities that were highlighted are at the heart of the strategy.

“The draft strategy sets out how we will manage, protect and expand tree and woodland cover across West Northants to 2045, as well how we intend to collaborate with partners and the wider community.

The consultation closes on Sunday 13 October, and we are keen for residents, businesses, community groups and other stakeholders to have their say.
