Forestry Commission library

 

The Forestry Commission’s Library is located at the Forest Research Station, Alice Holt Lodge. It provides a comprehensive scientific and technical information service for those interested in trees and forestry in Great Britain.

We provide a photocopy and loan service to:

• Forestry Commission staff
• Staff on secondment to the Forestry Commission
• Organisations that receive funding from the Forestry Commission
• Individuals with a Forestry Commission contract or undertaking research for the Forestry Commission.

We lend books to other libraries through the British Library Inter-Library Loan Scheme and advise students to use their own College/University Library to obtain items, or the general public their Public Service Library.

There is a reciprocal arrangement with other Government departments or agencies for photocopies or loans.

Access to the library

The Library is open to everyone as a personal visitor to study, read and photocopy, though we do charge for photocopies.

References and reading list

• Anyone can request a list of references and it is supplied without charge.
• A reading list is sent outside the Forestry Commission to Community Forests in England, and to a number of academic institutions and academics involved with forestry.
