    2017 – Woodland Carbon Code

     The Woodland Carbon Code is a voluntary standard, initiated in July 2011, for woodland creation projects that make claims about the carbon they sequester (take out of the atmosphere). All projects must be placed on the UK Woodland Carbon Registry. Their claims about potential carbon sequestration are validated by an independent certification body. Validated projects are […]

    2017 – Recreation

     Introduction This chapter contains statistics on: the number and profile of visits to all woodlands from household surveys; the number and profile of visits to Forestry Commission/ Natural Resources Wales/ Forest Service woodlands from on-site surveys and administrative sources; and public access to woodland. Geographical coverage for recreation statistics varies. Estimates are presented at country level and, where possible, UK […]

    2017 – Populations of wild birds

     Bird populations provide a good indication of the broad state of wildlife in the UK. This is because they are a well-studied taxonomic group, enabling a more informed interpretation of observed changes, who occupy a range of habitats while still responding to the same environmental pressures that also operate on other groups of wildlife. Indices of […]

    2017 – Public Opinion of Forestry – climate change

     The Forestry Commission has conducted similar surveys of public attitudes to forestry and forestry-related issues every two years since 1995. The most recent set of separate surveys was conducted in 2017 (in Scotland, Wales, and across the UK as a whole) and 2014 (in Northern Ireland). The full results are available on our website at […]

    2017 – Public Opinion of Forestry – tree health

     The Forestry Commission has conducted similar surveys of public attitudes to forestry and forestry-related issues every two years since 1995. The most recent surveys were conducted in 2017 (with separate surveys in Scotland, Wales, and across the UK as a whole) and in 2014 (in Northern Ireland). The full results are available within the 2017 […]

    2016 – Woodland Carbon Code

     The Woodland Carbon Code is a voluntary standard, initiated in July 2011, for woodland creation projects that make claims about the carbon they sequester (take out of the atmosphere). All projects must be placed on the UK Woodland Carbon Registry. Their claims about potential carbon sequestration are validated by an independent certification body. Validated projects are […]

    2017 – Carbon sequestration

     In climate change reporting, removals to forestland, also called the forest sink, measures the net annual accumulation of carbon in forests by woody biomass, soils and litter. Table 4.2 and Figure 4.2 show estimates and projections of net carbon dioxide removals attributed to UK forestry, from 1990 to 2050. The annual rate of accumulation is projected […]

    2017 – Origin of wood imports

     Table 3.8 presents data on the source of selected wood products that have been imported into the UK in 2016. Sawn softwood, particleboard, fibreboard, and paper and paperboard were overwhelmingly imported from EU countries in 2016 (Table 3.8): Sweden (43%), Latvia (17%) and Finland (14%) provided the majority of imports of sawn softwood to the UK. Most particleboard […]
