Please could you spare a few minutes to complete our final Foresters’ Forest programme survey:

https://glos.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/foresters-forest-2021-survey

• We ask a few questions about the Forest of Dean, and its built, natural and cultural heritage.

• Your answers will help us find out what difference the Foresters' Forest Landscape Partnership Programme has had on the heritage and people of the Forest of Dean, over the past 5 years. We will be publishing a final report that will be shared locally in the New Year.

• Completing the survey gives you the chance to enter our prize draw. There are two great prizes on offer!
