Location: Fernworthy, Bellever, Brimpts, Soussons - East Dart, Blackbrook and Swincombe, Webburn, West Dart Upper and Cherry Brook

Aims: The core aim of the plan is to produce woodlands with increased conservation and landscape benefits whilst maintaining a viable timber output. The long term aims of management are to continue the substantial timber product while increasing resilience to climate, pest and disease risks, and to deliver the forest for people and nature. 

The social, economic and environmental objectives of management are to:

• The continued production of sustainable and marketable woodland products.
• To conserve, maintain and enhance cultural and heritage assets, their setting and the historical environment. 
• The provision and maintenance of recreation facilities. 
• The diversification of woodland species and structure for greater ecological and economic resilience. 
• Protect and enhance woodland and open habitats and their associated species.
•  The delivery of well-designed proposals in keeping with the National Park character.
