The Forestry Commission has ambitious net-zero targets, which it is working to meet via several significant projects for woodland creation and peatland restoration currently under way across the public forest estate. In 2024, Forestry England, the Forestry Commission’s executive agency responsible for managing the nation’s forests, delivered £1.8 billion in natural capital outcomes through activities including newly created woodlands, key species reintroduction programmes and a 6,000 hectare rewilding programme.
