About Us
The National Forest Company (NFC) is leading the creation of a restored forest landscape in the heart of the Midlands, an area left scarred by years of coal mining and heavy industry.
Since 1995, we've been creating a forest on a scale not seen in England for 1,000 years and so far we've planted nearly 9 million trees across 200 square miles across parts of Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire. And we aren't finished yet???

- Volunteering - three days per year for volunteering opportunities
This is an exciting opportunity for an administrator with experience of providing high-level support to stakeholders and the general public, to join our organisation as we embark on the next phase of our ambitious strategy for the National Forest.
