The National Audit Office has flagged that UK woodland 🌳 creation is losing momentum. Out of a £924 million budget, only £707m was spent over five years. That's a 24% underspend.
To hit net-zero targets, England needs at least 9,000 hectares of new woodland annually. Falling short doesn't just affect biodiversity. It affects the long-term supply of sustainably sourced wood fuel too.
More trees planted now means more reliable biomass supply later 🪵

Forestry England has launched a new 🌲🌳 forest resilience strategy to protect woodlands against climate change, pests, diseases, and biodiversity loss.
England's forests currently supply around 40% of the country's domestic timber. Keeping those woodlands healthy is essential for a secure, long-term supply of sustainably sourced wood fuel.
The strategy focuses on assessing resilience locally, diversifying tree species, and using science-led approaches to forest management.
