To book on to this event, you must register to attend on MS Teams via this link here.The recent ‘Environmental Improvement Plan 2025’ is clear that the UK Government wants more productive woodlands, both to help increase tree cover in England and reduce UK’s heavy reliance on imported timber which account for three quarters of our timber needs.
In this webinar, you will hear from the Forestry Commission on opportunities to create more new productive timber woodlands in England. Chaired by Graham Clark, CLA Senior Land Use Policy Adviser, you will learn about what's involved in creating a new productive woodland, why it's worth considering and hear about the Government’s ‘Timber in Construction Roadmap 2025’ which aims to grow the use of timber in construction. You will also hear about the grant funding and planning support available.
Sign up today to learn how you can use marginal land for productive woodland and the many wider environmental benefits, including carbon sequestration with potential carbon credit income.
