The National Forest LBAP was written by the National Forest Company with the support of the Nature Conservation Working Group. It provides a framework for habitat safeguarding and creation in the National Forest area under the National Forest Tender Scheme and working in partnership with partner organisations. A first edition was produced in 1998 and a second edition was produced in 2004, as some of the targets had already been achieved.
