This actual formal headline KPI: Percentage of woodland that is sustainably managed in England (including the nation's forests managed by Forestry England).

As for the main formal indicator above, minus contribution 1. in the nation's forests managed by Forestry England. This is expressed as a percentage of all National Forest Inventory (NFI) woodland in the nation's forests managed by Forestry England, in the latest available NFI woodland map at the time of computations for the respective reports. Numerator: Woodland is counted as in sustainable management where the woodland is included in any one or more of the following categories: 1. In the nation's forests managed by Forestry England (aka ‘Public Forest Estate’), 2.

EWGS Woodland Management Grant, where the contract start date is within 15 years before the report date, 4. EWGS Woodland Planning Grant, where the contract start date is within 15 years before the report date, 5. EWGS Woodland Improvement Grant, where the contract start date is within 15 years before the report date, 6. Woodland Grant Scheme 3, where the contract start date is within 15 years before the report date, 7.

Denominator: Woodland is defined as National Forest Inventory (NFI) woodland in the most up to date NFI map available.
