Royal Forestry Society
Summary
The Royal Forestry Society (RFS) is an educational charity and one of the oldest membership organisations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland for those actively involved in woodland management.
The RFS has a broad membership which includes woodland owners, managers, countryside professionals (land agents, ecologists, conservationists), academics, students and others with a general interest in woodland management. Membership is open to all.
The Royal Forestry Society was established in 1882 in Northumberland, England. Originally known as the English Arboricultural Society, the organisation was founded by forester Henry Clark and nurseryman John W Robson, both from Hexham. The Society's first President was John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham. In 1905 it was granted a Royal Charter by King Edward VII and was renamed the Royal English Arboricultural Society. It was renamed The Royal English Forestry Society in 1931, and in 1962 its title was changed to the Royal Forestry Society of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
A separate organisation operates in Scotland, the Royal Scottish Forestry Society, which was established in 1854.
Although the Society is not a major woodland owner, it manages three working woodlands:
Hockeridge and Pancake Woods in the Chilterns, on the Hertfordshire/Buckinghamshire border and close to Berkhamsted and Chesham, gifted to the RFS in 1986 by Mary Wellesley, great-great-granddaughter of the Duke of Wellington;
a woodland in the National Forest, close to Battram in Leicestershire;
Charles Ackers Redwood Grove and Naylor Pinetum at Leighton Hall, Powys near Welshpool, Powys, the largest and oldest grove of coast redwoods in Europe.
These are managed as examples of good practice and lessons learned are shared with members.
