Taxation imposes a burden on all forms of enterprise. The business of growing forests carry a reasonable share of the load. It is widely believed that the existing tax system imposes more than a reasonable share on forestry and discourages the use of private land for this purpose. This report contains the more important results of a Forest Service investigation on this subject. It presents a background of facts about the existing methods of taxation and their relation to forestry. It weighs the effects of taxation on forest management. It develops the principles of sound forest taxation.

In this report, the Law Commission make recommendations for the introduction of a new statutory scheme of conservation covenants in England and Wales. The recommendations to introduce such a scheme would create a new legal tool, enabling landowners to protect land in order to conserve and restore our natural and built environment. Conservation covenants would allow landowners voluntarily to create binding obligations on their own land to meet a conservation objective, such as preserving woodland, cultivating a particular species of plant or protecting a habitat for an animal, or farming land in a certain way. The proposed statutory scheme would give individual landowners the opportunity, using private agreements, to contribute to conservation efforts being made across England and Wales. The scheme will create a versatile, simple and cost-effective legal tool capable of: unlocking currently missed conservation opportunities by overcoming the legal difficulties faced when creating binding obligations; facilitating better ways to deliver existing conservation objectives; and providing assurance of long-term conservation benefits. The report includes a draft Conservation Covenants Bill, which would introduce the conservation covenant scheme into the law of England and Wales.
