Amazing how a bit of context can change a story. Here is the same #WoodlandCreation scheme that was causing some concern last weekend: come on #TreeTwitter, let's get this RT'ed and spread the word for well planned, designed and delivered forests. ✌️🌳🌲

Less than 10% of timber used in the UK is homegrown, but most of the logs we process grow within 100 miles of our sawmills.
We've worked with local timber for over 120 years and believe it still makes sense to do so.

It's hard to calculate the economic value of health benefits we get from trees, but we know it they are very real. In part 4 of #WoodForTheTrees I talked with Suzi Martineu @treesisters @The Tree Conference about how trees can improve our health.

Pine Forests are great for health and well being .. usually easy to explore on foot, bike or horse! The benefits to society of well managed forests close to home are HUGE ! #healthylifestyle #Wellbeing #SaturdayVibes

Winter is the time for cutting English oak plank. This selection will be dry and ready in about 18 months. Search our site for the best sawn timber and take the cream of the crop before someone else does.

#Trees produce amazing materials!
But about 40% of UK woodland is undermanaged, and we need to do something about that, to bring them into a state like this fantastic forest.

The Committee on Climate Change has published a report stating that the planting of 100m trees a year in the UK to tackle the #climateemergency could be paid for by new carbon levies on oil companies and airlines.
