The Role of CCFG

an oak leaf

Our primary role is to promote the transformation of even-aged plantations to structurally, visually and biologically diverse woodlands. We also aim to enhance the production of high quality timber according to the principles of continuous cover management. We are a technical and professional organisation dedicated to developing skills and disseminating knowledge. In addition, we contribute to policy formulation and wider debates about sustainable forestry in Britain.

CCFG is a member of ProSilva Europe, a federation of forestry organisations committed to advancing "close to nature" silvicultural systems.

Interested in joining CCFG?

CCFG is a friendly, dynamic, member-driven group with an interest in silviculture and sustainable forestry. We welcome new members who share our values and who would like to apply new techniques in the management of forests. CCFG offers an exciting range of member and non-member benefits.

Joining CCFG provides a range of useful benefits, including access to the Member's Section on this website. For further information about becoming a memeber, please click here.
