About the job

Job summary:


Never has there been a more important time for trees and forests to help tackle the climate emergency and provide a much-needed sanctuary for people and wildlife.

Our government are committed to creating 30,000 hectares of woodland a year across the UK by the end of this Parliament.

This acceleration in current planting rates in England will contribute to meeting the net-zero by 2050 ambitions and government's wider environmental targets.


The Forestry Commission is working together with the Department for the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) to support the forestry sector, landowners, farmers, stakeholders and communities in the delivery of these ambitions.

We aim to expand, protect, improve and connect woodlands across the country.
