North England Forest District is the largest in England, covering some 86,000ha, made up of 61,000 ha of forest and 25,000ha of open land in Cumbria, Durham, Lancashire, and Northumberland. The district is managed by a multi-disciplinary team of more than 130 staff under the leadership of our Forest Management Director, Kevin May. Because we operate in some of England's most remote areas, the economic activity we generate has a big impact locally and we are important stakeholders in many regional initiatives.
