CEO of Future Trees Trust, the only UK charity dedicated to broadleaf tree improvement.

“If we continue to use wood the way we do now and don’t increase forest cover, carbon emissions from wood [will rise] due to reliance on imports,” demonstrates Dr Eilidh Forster @BangorUni #ConforGreenGrowth

[John Mclaughlin @CEOFutureTrees]

How long can this continue?

[Vastern Timber @VasternTimberUK]

The proposed National Wood Strategy for England from @EnglandConfor will highlight benefits of productive forestry and outline steps to grow & use more wood.

Please send comments by Wednesday 11 Jan.

@VasternTimberUK great example of corporate responsibility, really appreciated

[Future Trees Trust @FutureTreesUK]

In 2022, Vastern Timber decided to donate at least 1% of their turnover to support people and projects that are helping local woodlands. It is great to have Future Trees Trusts work as part of their 1% Woodland Tax.

Wow Ben that’s looking great @FutureTreesUK

Productive Silver Birch... Pre plant weed, 1st winter weed and now nothing else required... 4000trees/ha gives us options for timber, a buffer for losses and much less INPUT. Soft thistle will be a boon for biodiversity.

Great to hear our supporter @TomBarnesWood identify research and development as key action in upcoming Wood Strategy

[Future Trees Trust @FutureTreesUK]

Future Trees Trust supporter @TomBarnesWood @VasternTimberUK asks for input in a National Wood Strategy for England at todays @forestsandwood policy conference #ConforTimber to instil a positive attitude towards productive forestry in England.

[John Mclaughlin @CEOFutureTrees]

‘Let’s talk about this industry in a way that’s immediately accessible to the public’. Wise words from Lord Deben @FutureTreesUK #ConforTimber

[John Mclaughlin @CEOFutureTrees]

Startling statistics, lots of work to be done. @FutureTreesUK important role to play#confortimber

[Paul Brannen 🇺🇦 @PaulBrannenNE]

We need more trees & hence more wood grown in the UK as we have amongst the lowest forest cover in Europe consequently we import vast amounts of timber #confortimber ⁦@forestsandwood⁩ ⁦@CEIBois⁩ ⁦@TimberDevUK⁩

Looking forward to today’s Confor conference ‘Timber! Why the UK needs the wood - and the trees’ ⁦@forestsandwood⁩ ⁦@CEIBois⁩

[Future Trees Trust @FutureTreesUK]

For #nationaltreeweek🎄 we planted the first #Sycamore tree site in Kent.
Much of this work is supported by @VasternTimberUK.
This progeny trial will test the performance of at least 80 plus trees.
We will continue to provide updates on progress & results.
