<p>The National Forest Inventory Forest Research, part of the Forestry Commission,
gathers data on the number of trees within woodland in Britain. In addition it monitors
the canopy area of trees outside of woodland within. More details of the work carried
out and information it publishes can be found here: <a href="https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/tools-and-resources/national-forest-inventory/about-the-nfi/"

</p><p>All woodland is protected against unauthorised removal through the control
of tree felling in the Forestry Act 1967, the Environmental Impact Assessment (Forestry)
Regulations and the planning system. Activities authorised and supported by the Forestry
Commission, including woodland management which has grant support available through
Countryside Stewardship and Felling Licences applications, are expected to meet the
UK Forestry Standard, the Government’s approach to sustainable forestry.</p><p> </p>
