Forestry England (West District)

Forestry England manages and cares for the nation’s 1,500 woods and forests, with over 363 million visits per year. As England’s largest land manager, we shape landscapes and enhance forests for people to enjoy, wildlife to flourish and businesses to grow. We are continuing the work we have already started to make the nation’s forests resilient to climate change and by 2026 we will:   

• create at least 6,000 more hectares where we integrate wilding activities in our productive forests. 
• increase the diversity of visitors to the nation’s forests and have one million hours of high-quality volunteer time given to the nation’s forests 
• plant at least 2,000 hectares of new, high quality, predominantly broadleaf woodlands
