Forestry Commission
The Forestry Commission manages a growing number of other forest sites across the UK.

The Forestry Commission is a publicly owned, non-profit making institution that runs its forestry sites as a business, whilst keeping them accessible to the public.

There is also, of course, privately owned forestry land which, as per the Forestry Commission sites, are farmed for their timber. Though revenue can definitely be made from selling and marketing wood, the potential profits are capped. Forestry land is regulated by the Environment Agency (EA). The EA closely controls how many tress are felled. There are limitations on how much timber can be cut down per acre per year and any felled stock must be replaced.
