The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has re-organised its forest activities into four workstreams, focusing separately on the licensing backlog, a vision for forestry, a fit-for-purpose organisational structure, and streamlining the licensing process for the future.

This re-organisation was recommended in a new report on implementation of the 2019 Mackinnon report on reforming forestry licensing.
