Natural Resources Wales
Natural Resources Wales is the largest Welsh Government Sponsored Body - employing 1,900 staff across Wales with a budget of £180 million. We were formed in April 2013, largely taking over the functions of the Countryside Council for Wales, Forestry Commission Wales and the Environment Agency in Wales, as well as certain Welsh Government functions.
National Trust
We’re a charity founded in 1895 by three people who saw the importance of our nation’s heritage and open spaces and wanted to preserve them for everyone to enjoy. More than 120 years later, these values are still at the heart of everything we do. We look after special places throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland for ever, for everyone.
As a charity we rely for income on membership fees, donations and legacies, and revenue raised from our commercial operations.
Clore Social Leadership
We develop leaders with a social purpose so that they can transform their communities, organisations and the world around them.
We help make social change happen by supporting and investing in people - people who we think can become leaders with the resilience, self-awareness and capabilities to tackle the social challenges of the 21st century.

Our aims
Forestry Commission Scotland
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 Commission England
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.
