The public establishment is administered by a board of directors made up of elected representatives from each of the local authorities and each of the public establishments that make it up.
The chairman is elected by the board of directors from among its members.
The representative of the State in the department in which the public establishment has its registered office attends meetings of the board of directors as of right. If a deliberation appears likely to affect the proper organisation of the protection of Mediterranean forests and their environment, the State representative may request a new deliberation.
