A forestry ministry (also called a forestry agency, forestry department, or forest service) is a high, often cabinet-level government ministry charged with forestry.
The ministry is often headed by a minister for forestry.
Specific duties may relate to forest conservation, management, reforestation, education, forest protection, wildfire management, and related areas.
(Where a national forestry agency, forestry department, forest administration or parastatal corporation exists as a high-level agency within a multi-purpose ministry, it has been added to this list within parentheses.)
