Forestry England

We are England's largest land manager, looking after the nation's 1,500 woods and forests. Forests flourish with careful planning and expert management. We’re landscapers and foresters on a vast, nationwide scale: we shape landscapes for people, timber and wildlife. We work in partnership across government, with charities and private companies. Before 1 April 2019, Forestry England was known as Forest Enterprise England. Forestry England is part of the Forestry Commission family.
