We look forward to welcoming visitors back to the nation’s forests soon.

Our priority is to keep people safe. We’re coming up with a plan for how we can re-open our car parks and other facilities while still managing our forests safely and supporting social distancing.

Until then, please do not travel to the nation’s forests.

Help stop the spread of coronavirus. Stay home, stay safe – please do not come to our forests.

The most important thing for Forestry England is to keep the public and our staff safe. The government has said everyone must stay at home apart from essential travel. Sadly this means we have to ask you not to come to the nation’s forests. We will keep monitoring the situation closely and follow the latest advice from Public Health England.
