The Innovative Approach to Forest Signage

It’s important to consider forest signage in woodland areas and areas of forest interest. The use of forestry signs indicates areas of risk to the public and staff in that particular space.

Lockhart Garratt is passionate about making sure the use of forest signs continues to instruct and protect the public and prevent trespassing and accidents in areas that may pose a danger to public wellbeing.

Successfully Building With Nature

Forestry Signage and Warning Signs

Forestry signage considers the use of warning signs to instruct and inform members of the immediate public there are health dangers. These could be timber operations underway in a nearby area or tree felling.

Forest signage alerts citizens to processes being carried out, such as tree surgery or the use of pesticides. It also makes people aware of the use of no access signs, informing them to avoid areas that present a danger to safety.

Standardisation of Forest Signage

Forest signs are divided into appropriate categories that illustrate the message they’re trying to convey. Lockhart Garratt knows each category must follow a specific format and set of colours to make sure they meet regulations.

Prohibition Signs      

These forest signs convey the ‘Do Not’ commands, such as smoking or the use of water and are red band signs with a diagonal crossbar at a 45-degree angle.

Warning Signs These signs alert members of the public to nearby danger and appear triangular with a black band.

Mandatory Signs

These signs indicate actions required to comply with statutory regulations.
