Forestry Commission is a non-ministerial government department established in 1919 to manage, protect, and expand woodlands. The organisation increases the value of forests to society and the environment by regulating tree felling, managing public forests, and supporting private woodland owners.
The department provides grants, felling licences, and professional advice to encourage new tree planting and sustainable forest management. Its plant health officers monitor wood imports at ports to prevent the introduction of foreign pests and diseases, while its experts work alongside local authorities to contain tree health issues.
