Woodland Strategy Advisory Panel

The Woodland Strategy Advisory Panel (WSAP) acts in an advisory role to both Ministers and Forestry Commissioners on the implementation of Woodlands for Wales and its periodic reviews. Its functions are:

• Advising on the implementation of the Wales Woodland Strategy by all partner organisations based on a thorough understanding of current activity and policies.
• Advising on specific issues that the National Committee assign to the Panel.
• Horizon scanning to enable the Strategy (and FC Wales as the government department responsible for forestry policy development and the organisation with the primary responsibility for strategy delivery) to respond to new issues and agendas.

The panel was formed in early 2005 and amalgamates the Wales Woodland Forum and the FC Advisory Committee for Wales.
