Answer
A woodland management plan was commissioned in April 2016 to provide a framework for the long term sustainable management of the woodlands within the Stormont Estate. The plan covers a 15 year period with recommended work being taken forward in stages.
The plan includes recommendations for replanting and the recently cleared area is currently being prepared to facilitate restocking with native broadleaves.
