Planting and felling
Planting trees is at the heart of what we do. Growing productive trees is essential for providing sustainable low-carbon materials to allow us to live our modern lives. See behind the scenes of forest management.
Trees play a major part in creating a healthy ecosystem. They produce oxygen, helping to clean the air we breathe. Planting trees in the right place can benefit the landscape, improve soils, store water, and reducing flooding and droughts.
Timber and the climate
