For more than seven decades, the Forestry Commission has stood at the forefront of forest conservation.
Established through the Forest Act, the Commission is a parastatal under the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Wildlife. We work with communities, government and partners to protect biodiversity, support commercial forestry and build climate resilience.
