Forestry England

Forestry England is an executive agency, sponsored by the Forestry Commission. A fifth of the income comes from the Forestry Commission, the rest is generated by Forestry England itself. All income goes back into creating beautiful forests as homes for wildlife and for people to enjoy.

The Board is appointed by the Forestry Commissioners. The Commissioners have delegated their functions to the Board under the Forestry Act of 1967 and other legislation in respect of management of the nation’s forests. The Board sets the strategy for Forestry England, provides leadership through setting the standards for how Forestry England does its work and the culture it promotes, and supports the Forestry England executives through constructive challenge and guidance.
