British forests : the Forestry Commission, 1919-2019

2019
Books, Manuscripts
Founded in 1919 to deal with the chronic timber shortage after the First World War, the Forestry Commission has developed from a government department preoccupied with supply into a leading environmental organisation that champions the landscape, and encourages wildlife and public access. Published to coincide with the centenary of the Commission, 'British Forests' examines not only its unique history but also the Commission's role in research, and the promotion of tree planting in both cities and countryside.
