Royal Mail released this set of stamps to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Forestry Commission, the British equivalent of the US Forest Service. This set shows six stamps, each showing some forest in Britain. Going clockwise from the top left, the stamps show Glen Affric in Scotland, Sherwood Forest (yes, Robin Hood) in Nottinghamshire, Glenariff Forest in Northern Ireland, Kielder Forest in Northumberland, Coed y Brenin in Wales, and the National Arboretum in Gloustershire. The Forestry Commission was created in 1919, to protect the great forests across Britain, and to prevent deforestation in these forests. Logging was crazy back in the day, and forests were chopped down at increasing speeds. The Forestry Commission was created to combat that and preserve Britain's forests for generations to come. These stamps were released on August 13, 2019, in East Molesey, London, UK.
