Our history… Even now we have the second lowest forest cover in EU 1900 – woodland cover down to 5% First World War put even more pressure on our timber resource Forestry Commission was formed in 1919 Woodland cover is now at 12% BUT…

Our history…

But over time we have evolved and we ensure Britain’s woodlands are managed for: - People - Environment - Landscape …and timber! Our core purpose WAS to increase forest cover and create a strategic reserve of timber

How do we do this? FOREST SERVICES - Private sector support - Statutory functions -Delivery of UK Forest Policy FOREST RESEARCH - The main body for forestry and tree related research in the UK THE PUBLIC FOREST ESTATE - Management of public land … has 3 main departments ENGLAND

How do we do this? We are the UK’s biggest land manager – 250,000 ha We have 650 staff (down from 44,000 in 1940!!) Budget £ 70% Income Timber Recreation Estates £ 30% Government
