摘要

Over the last 85 years the Forestry Commission (FC) has led a remarkable and highly successful programme of reforestation. However, some challenging times lie ahead as demands on forests for social and environmental outputs are set to increase along with intense global competition for timber. To meet these challenges the forestry sector will need to exploit market opportunities where we have comparative advantage, but it must also influence the policy process more effectively to capture a greater share of public expenditure. In this paper the author argues that the FC cannot effectively respond to these challenges because entrepreneurialism is unable to flourish in a bureaucracy as the organisation has to a great extent been captured by environmental groups, and the future FC timber supply is over-committed to supporting the large-scale processing sector at the expense of local timber industries and rural communities. Possible reform options considered are 1) the outright sale of state forests; 2)the offering out of the management of state forests through competitive tendering; or 3) the creation of autonomous forest districts that can operate as independent trading units where performance can be measured in terms of profit and loss. Reforms relating to the regulatory and research activities of the Forest Commission are also suggested.
