Commission unveils how it plans to market Welsh timber

Wednesday 2 February 2011

Forestry Commission Wales has unveiled details of the way it intends to sell trees from the forests it looks after.

Welsh forests are some of the most productive in the UK with enough timber to build 130,000 timber framed houses leaving Welsh Assembly Government woodlands every year.

The Commission presented its timber marketing strategy, which spells out how it intends to do business with the industry for the next five years, to forest business representatives in Newtown on Thursday (January 27).

FC Wales aims to ensure that timber sold from Assembly Government woodlands helps to fight climate change as well as supporting a thriving forest industry in Wales which employs in the region of 8,900 people.
