Description
About England's Community Forests
There are 12 Community Forests in England, each located in and around a major urban area. Half of England's population lives in or within easy reach of a Community Forest.
Our task
Our task is to deliver a comprehensive package of urban, economic and social regeneration, creating high-quality environments for millions of people by revitalising derelict land, providing new opportunities for leisure, recreation, and cultural activities, enhancing biodiversity and supporting education, healthy living and social and economic development.
Each Forest is a partnership between local authorities, the Forestry Commission, the Countryside Agency and other local and national organisations. The founding basis for each Forest is a government-approved Forest Plan, a 30-year vision of landscape-scale improvement.
