The purposes of this study are to draw together up-to-date assessments of the main factors bearing on decisions about the broad direction of forestry expansion; to use this to inform discussions of the location and type of forestry that would best meet the demands of society for wood products, jobs, recreation, amenity, wildlife conservation, carbon storage and the other services supplied by forests, at minimum cost in resources and without damage to other land use interests; and to see what conclusions follow for new planting over the next decade or so.
