About us
The Tamil Nadu Forest Department has completed a journey of more than 160 years. Since the formation of the Department in 1856, during the last sixteen decades Forest Department had witnessed many transformations.
The initiatives of the Department in the erstwhile Madras Presidency and in the Tamil Nadu State after independence where largely guided by the National Forest Policies of 1894, 1952 and 1988 and programmes supported mainly through fund allocations in the Five Year Plans.
