Details
Detailing how we will be delivering for England’s Forests.
Forest Services
Forest Services is the government’s forestry experts. We help to make England a positive place to live in by encouraging and supporting landowners and the sector to protect, improve and expand the nation’s woodlands.
Forest Enterprise England
England’s national forests are a treasured natural, economic and social resource held in trust for the nation and managed by Forest Enterprise England (FEE). Covering more than 250,000 hectares, England’s national forests make up almost a fifth of the total forest resource, and with 1,800 forest areas dispersed throughout the country almost everyone in England is within an hour drive of a forest that we look after.
Cross-boarder / Corporate Forestry Support
During 2017 to 2018, Corporate Forestry Support (CFS) cross-border functions will continue to transfer to Forestry Commission England and the devolved administrations, completing the devolution of forestry.
Corporate programmes
During 2017 to 2018 we will develop and begin to implement a new operating model which will give the Forestry Commission a positive and dynamic future after devolution is fully completed with the planned transfer of the Commission’s powers and functions in Scotland to Scottish ministers.
