CCFG ChairmanBill Mason is the Chair of the CCFG. He lives in Edinburgh where he worked for Forest Research as a silvicultural researcher for several decades.

CCFG Co-ordinator (England)John Tewson is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Foresters, and prior to retirement was Head of Forestry and Land Management for Forestry England. He has been a long standing advocate for CCF, particularly in the progression of 20th Century conifer plantations to rich, highly productive, species diverse forests.
He believes that on many sites the use of CCF, instead of clearfelling and restocking, would provide added visual amenity, added conservation benefits, and an overall increase in site productivity.
