Description

The Forestry Industry Council of Great Britain (FICGB) is the organisation which brings together a comprehensive grouping of enterprises, organisations, and professional associations that make up the private sector of the forestry industry in this country.

FICGB encompasses all forestry industry activities from silvicultural research, the expansion of new planting and the sustainable management of the forest resource, to the maximisation of non-market benefits and the commercial processing of timber as an internationally competitive enterprise.

It provides the forum for industry to debate and plan its future development and the means to promote a more informed understanding of the role and contribution of the UK forestry industry within the national economy.

I am not sure whether this organisation still exists my information comes from a 1997 website.
