Business and services
Our business is varied and we provide a range of services for the public and for industry. Here you’ll find what you need from us – be it a permit, a contract or a sawlog.
Buy land or buildings
We sell land and properties as part of our management strategy. Find out about sales, land agents, and details of our disposals.
Permissions and permits
The national forests are almost entirely free to use – but some things have to follow particular guidelines. Find out what activities and events need a formal permission
Procurement and tenders
We work with small and medium-sized business to look after the forests and land. Find out about opportunities to work us in all areas of work, whether on the ground or behind the scenes.
Starter farms
We occasionally lease our unused land to new entrants to agriculture to help them gain experience of managing their own small-scale farm business. Find out our current opportunities and how to apply.
Grazing opportunities
As well as starter farms, we also offer grazing opportunities to new entrants to agriculture. These small business units help new farmers build up their experience and stock numbers.
Land leasing
If you are a farmer or landholder, you may be able to lease your land to us so we can plant new productive woodland. Find out more about the scheme works and whether it's right for you.
