Buy sustainable Forestry England timber

We sustainably harvest about 1.2 million tonnes of wood every year from England’s public forests. The timber provides low-carbon materials for construction, packaging, paper production and energy.

The UK relies on imported wood for 80% of our needs and our timber production helps our resilience to changing international circumstances. It also supports rural employment with well paid jobs.

We encourage the development of healthy and competitive timber harvesting and wood processing industries in England. Our policy is to market our timber to give every customer an equal opportunity and to optimise our financial return as the income helps offset the costs of managing forests sustainably.
