Abstract: Under consultation arrangements introduced from 1st October 1974, the Forestry Commission seeks the views of interested statutory bodies before proceeding with afforestation on its own account, or before agreeing to grant-aid private proposals. Exceptionally, as with the National Park Authorities, consultation takes place on all proposals. But in general, consultation is partial and the Commission refers to each consultee only those proposals that it considers might provoke a response. The importance of correct referral decisions is clear. In this paper the theoretical basis of partial consultation is explored, the extent of referral and of comment being related to the foresters' understanding of the consultee's requirements. Data from North Scotland are examined, and questions raised concerning the adequacy of current consultation practice with environmental interest groups.
