Situation
The majority of woodlands in Britain are under-managed. This lack of management is partly the cause of declining biodiversity and threatens our landscape heritage. Timber if Britain's sixth largest import, with one million tonnes of hardwoods imported every year. Yet, locally-produced timber would deliver many benefits. There is no existing resource assessment of our woodlands and no means to easily connect with owners.
Solution
If we could connect Britain's woodland owners to the wood users, and support them in managing and marketing, then there would be economic, environmental and social benefits. These are the aims of the myForest Service.
