Bus/Financial - Forestry / Wood / Timber
Russian term or phrase: лесничество
What do you call the headquarters or the office of a forest warden/forester, and, consequently, the area of the forest that a forester is in charge of? In the Russian-English Dictionary by A.I. Smirnitsky I found the word 'forestry', but when I re-checked it in an English monolingual dictionary and Google, this version turned out to be wrong (meaning the science or the art of cultivating forests and the like). I would appreciate links to British or American websites. Thanks in advance.

forest ranger station


Explanation:
This may be part of what you're looking for. The station is the local headquarters, and it's usuallynamed after the park or section of the park in which it's located.

Ranger Office means not only the building, but the surronding area too. If you want to make it clear you can say "Ranger Office and District". However just "Dictrict Ranger Office" should be enough. I live near a national park in the Rockies. The sign there simply says "Ranger's Office" that implies that the guys who work there are responsible for the park.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for the link. Forestry Commission it is definitely not - but I read it all, and found something useful - like, Forest district and Forest district manager.
