  • All

This is the Forestry Commission National Forest Inventory (NFI) Map for Great Britain and is wholly owned by the Forestry Commission Great Britain (FCGB).


The NFI programme monitors woodland and trees across Great Britain. The NFI provides an extensive and unique record of key information about our forests and woodlands.


This dataset includes Interpreted Forest Types (IFTs) for all woodland over 0.5ha and Interpreted Open Area (IOA) information for areas over 0.5ha that are completely surrounded by woodland.

The primary objective is to create a new digital map of all woodland in Great Britain using O.S.MasterMap features as boundaries where appropriate. The map shows the extent of all woodland of 0.5 ha and over by interpreted forest type and includes interpreted open areas within woodland. The secondary objective is to compare the NFI woodland map with the original NIWT woodland map to identify; real woodland gains, real woodland losses and discrepancies caused by digitising / mapping anomalies.


This datasets gets updated every year and NRW crops it in our store so it just covers the extent of our relevant areas within Wales and the associated river catchments.
