Forests fit for a King
The Crown Estate at Windsor is a unique woodland: its proximity to London, diversity of forest types, high visitor numbers, and its need to balance ecological restoration with timber production. Adding certification to the mix could be an additional level of commitment, but for the Crown Estate being certified has not just become a vital part of their forest management but also part of the narrative of the estate.
The Crown Estate at Windsor is one of the original FSC certificate holders, they achieved their first certification more than 20 years ago and have been continually certified since. It has pioneered sustainability and certification not only within the estate’s borders, but across the wider forestry community.
Today, the estate’s 3200 hectares of forest is covered by FSC Forest Management Certification.
