Forestry Commission Great Britain/England annual Report 2010-11 : Incorporating: Forestry Commission Great Britain/England accounts and Forest Enterprise England Agency accounts, (for the year ended 31 March 2011)
Founded in 1919 to deal with the chronic timber shortage after the First World War, the Forestry Commission has developed from a government department focused on production into a leading environmental organisation that also champions the landscape, encouraging wildlife and public access. The sheer scale of the organisation between and after the wars meant that it built its own roads and bridges, constructed and supported entire villages and planted over two million acres of forest. Published to mark the centenary of the Commission, British Forests examines not only its unique history but also the Commission's role in research, and the promotion of tree planting in both cities and countryside. The book features a selection of the Nations' forests and beautiful botanical illustrations of trees from its pinetum at Bedgebury in Kent.
The role of the Forestry Commission is to ensure the sustainable management of Britain's forests and woodlands in order to promote the diverse benefits that forests provide to meet the needs of present and future generations. This publication sets out the Commission's annual report and accounts for Great Britain and for England for the year 2006-07, covering its activities in England, such as programmes to promote rural development, economic regeneration of former industrial land and disadvantaged communities, and conservation of forests and woodlands; as well as those functions which are funded on a GB-wide basis, such as plant health, international policy and research. Separate reports are made to the Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales to cover activities in Scotland and Wales.
