Forestry England

In September 1919 the Forestry Commission was founded to restore the nation’s woods and forests following the First World War, and the passing of the Forestry Act.

They are now England’s largest land manager looking after over 1,500 forests. They own and protect acres of land and trees in Cumbria. One notable site is Grizedale Forest in the heart of the Lake District. You can find walking and cycling trails, pick a quiet spot to admire the wildlife or discover amazing sculptures.
