North England Forest District is headed by Graham Gill and has a complement of 115 staff. The District is the largest in England, covering some 86,000ha formed by the merger of the North East England Forest District with the Cumbria and north Lancashire parts of North West England Forest District. The District comprises 61,000ha of forest and 25,000ha of open land. The forest area is 90% conifer and 10% broadleaf. Annual timber production is 600,000m3 (30% of England’s timber production). The District has 45 SSSIs totalling over 10,000ha and is a major contributor to local biodiversity through projects such as red squirrels, ospreys and red kites, forest re-wilding, limestone woodland and blanket bog restoration. The District has four visitor centres at Grizedale, Whinlatter, Kielder and Hamsterley. The public forest estate in North England District attracts over one million visits per annum.
