A new photo competition intended to showcase the UK’s PEFC-certified forests has launched.

All of the National Trust Woodlands, Crown Estates and those run by devolved forestry agencies Forestry England, Forestry and Land Scotland, Natural Resources Wales, the Forest Service of Northern Ireland and many privately owned forests are PEFC-certified.

People are encouraged to capture their time in the forest and show wildlife, diverse flora and fauna, and people at work.

The competition is live now and there are several cash prizes to be won.
