Making Woods Work

Before The National Forest was created in 1995 there were only a handful of woodland based businesses working in and around the Forest. There are now a huge range of companies that offer a range of services and a number of companies that make and/or sell a huge range of woodland products. The nature of forestry work means that many forestry firms create and manage woodlands and make a range of wooden products. For more information see 'Woodland Services and Products.

The work into the woodland economy, which seeks to encourage new and existing forest based businesses to grow, will directly help to raise the sustainable use of woodlands, create jobs and help to ensure the long-term health and vitality of the woods.
