The Forestry Commission
Summary: The Forestry Commission (established in 1919) is a non-ministerial Britain’s government department holding heavy responsibility for “protecting and expanding forests and woodlands, as well as increasing their value to society and the environment”. It takes care of 827,000 hectares of sustainably-managed woods and forests, also plants more than 17 million new trees per year. Working with over 3,000 members of staffs and other partners such as landowners, local authorities, communities and national business, the organization has contributed to the management of national forestry and backed up forest values in the social development. Typically in those values, forests help combat the biggest challenge today, i.e. climate change, by capturing and storing carbon emission and reducing level of air pollution. The Forestry Commission is structured by geography into three national committees for Scotland, England and Wales but still under the Broad of Commission as a whole, which brings about two main advantages from decentralization and centralization. The case study also shows how staffs’ performance builds up sustainability. Although each member has separate position, all is still in common to create the organizational values based on teamwork, professionalism, respect and trust, open communication, learning and creativity.
