The National Forest Estate makes up almost one third of Scotland's woodlands. It is managed on behalf of the Scottish people by Forest Enterprise Scotland, an agency of the Forestry Commission. Many people think this means timber production, and that's true, but it's only part of the story. Our work includes developing renewable energy schemes, creating and maintaining trails and visitor facilities, and conserving the estate's habitats, wildlife and archaeological treasures.
