The National Forest Company

Overview

The National Forest Company is a charitable organization established in 1995. It is responsible for leading the creation of the National Forest, a large-scale forested landscape that spans across 200 square miles in central England, primarily covering areas of Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire[1][4]. The company operates as an Arm's Length Body of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra)[2].

Mission and Activities

The National Forest Company works to conserve, protect, and enhance the environment, particularly focusing on the National Forest area, for the benefit of the public[3]. Its efforts have significantly increased forest cover in the region, tripling the wooded areas to nearly 20%[4]. This transformation not only enhances the environment but also contributes to the economic and social well-being of local communities.

Conservation and Community Engagement

The company promotes sustainability and environmental stewardship by engaging communities through various activities. These include tree planting events, conservation projects, and wildlife monitoring. The National Forest Company facilitates volunteering opportunities across the forest, supporting 71 Community Woodland Management Groups. These groups focus on sharing knowledge, resources, and developing skills among community members[5].

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

A core aspect of the National Forest Company's approach is ensuring that the benefits of the forest are accessible to everyone. The company emphasizes the importance of equality, diversity, and inclusion, promoting a shared vision where everyone can enjoy the advantages of woods and trees without barriers[5].

Annual Activities and Achievements

The company's annual activities highlight significant community engagement. For instance, during the 2023-24 period, volunteer sessions accumulated over 39,444 hours, with an estimated value of approximately £477,000[5]. These efforts are supported by partnerships with organizations such as the National Lottery Heritage Fund, through projects like the Community Woodlands initiative and the Timber Festival.

Conclusion

The National Forest Company plays a pivotal role in transforming the landscape of central England by fostering a sustainable environment and fostering community involvement. Its work is crucial for conserving natural habitats and promoting the well-being of local communities.
