This includes developing and maintaining equal access to the many public benefits forestry can provide for all members of society.
The National Forest Inventory “50-year forecast of softwood availability” and “50-year forecast of hardwood availability” were published in April 2014. They are forecasts of potential availability rather than production, as they do not take account of management objectives, financial factors or the state of markets, all of which will affect the level of and timing […]

This Research Note provides an investigation into private woodland owners’ and managers’ understanding of resilience in regard to forest and woodland management in the UK.
The key assumptions underpinning the headline hardwood forecast scenario include:
In private woodland, harvesting is limited to areas with evidence of recent thinning activity.
The estate of Forestry England, Forestry and Land Scotland and Natural Resources Wales is managed according to current management plans.
Under the above scenario, hardwood availability for Great Britain averages 1.6 million m3 a […]
