State Forestry Corps

The State Forestry Corps (Italian: Corpo forestale dello Stato or CFS) was a national police agency in Italy.

[1] CFS was dissolved on December 31, 2016, and all personnel became militarized and absorbed by the Carabinieri Command of the Forest, Environmental and Agri-food units.

Its specialist duties included arresting poachers, investigating environmental violations, illegal building, counterfeit foods, safeguarding protected animal species, enforcing endangered species laws, and preventing and fighting wildfires through 15 regional commands and its fleet of 22 fire-fighting aircraft.

The autonomous forestry corps of the special statute regions have not been suppressed and are active in Sicily, Sardinia, Val d'Aosta, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Trentino Alto Adige/Südtirol.
