Waste and Minimising Damage. For environmental and site sustainability purposes, event organisers are required to and will be responsible for managing all aspects of waste (water, litter, human etc) in relation to their events. Further information and guidance on this aspect is detailed in the Forestry Commission Operational Guidance Booklet (OGB) 35, copies of which are available from Forest District offices. Further, if it is intended to fix notices or markers to trees on no account shall nails, staples, wire or anything liable to damage trees be used. The recommended method is to tie with string (not nylon or similar fibre) in such a way that tree damage is avoided. Participants must be encouraged to ensure their shoes (plus paws and tyres) are clean, to help protect our forests from tree pests and diseases. Keep It Clean.
