The Forestry Protection Service (German: Forstschutzkommando), later the Forest Protection Corps (German: Forstschutzkorps), was an armed and uniformed paramilitary force created by the General Government responsible for defending forests in Poland from sabotage, for patrolling forests to prevent their use by the Polish resistance, and for tracking Jews hiding in forests. Formed in 1940, in 1943 it was renamed the Forest Protection Corps.
