Scoping Study to Review Forestry Policy Instruments in the UK

This report was submitted by Pareto Consulting. It gives a brief review of the use of taxation in forestry policy focusing on how its relevance to environmental objectives might be improved. It also offers an overview of payments for ecosystem services and suggests an approach to assessing the current mix of forestry policy instruments in terms of their individual and collective effectiveness.

This may take many forms, but can be classified as providing information, offering incentives or imposing regulatory controls. Examples of each may be found in current UK forest policy, ranging from support for research and advisory services, through grants and tax breaks, to prescribed management activities and direct public management of forest resources.
