The Forestry Commission is the Government Department responsible for forestry policy in Great Britain. It reports directly to forestry Ministers to whom it is responsible for advice on forestry policy and for the implementation of that policy. It manages nearly 1 million hectares of public forests throughout Great Britain. Forestry is a devolved matter: the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has responsibility for forestry in England, Scottish Ministers have responsibility for forestry in Scotland and the National Assembly for Wales has responsibility for forestry in Wales.
