Our aims


Our forests and woodlands are a treasure. We promote their sustainable management – for Scotland's economy, people and environment.


We support Scotland's forests through guidance, grants and regulations, and by shaping forestry policy.

Forestry is a devolved matter. The Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has responsibility for forestry in England as well as certain activities such as international affairs and plant health which remain reserved by Westminster. Scottish Ministers have responsibility for forestry in Scotland.

Forestry Commission England and Forestry Commission Scotland report directly to their appropriate Minister, advising on policy and its implementation.
