10 Mar ‘Trees to Timber’ campaign launched by Forestry Commission

This new campaign highlights the benefits of home-grown timber for business, innovation, communities, biodiversity, and the environment.

Discover the financial and environmental benefits of homegrown timber for woodland owners. Timber is a renewable resource vital to sustainable living and the UK’s economy. From construction and furniture to packaging and shipbuilding, the country has a vibrant and robust industry ready to take advantage of homegrown timber. However, the UK imports 73% of its timber and due to global demand, supply chains are under pressure. Now is a great time to increase our domestic timber production.
