Question:
To ask the Minister of Finance what measures are in place to restock the woodland areas on the Stormont Estate following the tree felling work.

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.
