Agenda item

Report of the Director of Open Spaces.

The Committee noted a report of the Director of Open Spaces on the Climate Action Strategy Open Spaces “Carbon Removals”.

In response to a query from a member of the Committee it was explained that the carbon sequestration achieved at Epping Forest would only be considered in contribution to the carbon offsetting of the City of London Corporation, not of the local authorities.

A member of the Committee commented that, while he was supportive of the Strategy, it was important for the Committee to consider this in the context of the wider aims of Epping Forest Charity. 

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
