The basis of our forest management is that working forests are diverse, healthy and an investment for future generations. A robust silviculture strategy is a key component of our forest stewardship. We plan 80 years into the future, and every five years, we use technology to assess the forest area to provide an accurate inventory. This information allows our forest managers to model growth, harvest schedules and reforestation. This modeling helps us set targets and adjust our 80 year plan to that wood supply, conservation and recreation are all maintained.

WHAT ARE THE MOST VALUABLE TOOLS FOR TREE PLANTING? Is a holistic technological approach the best way to successfully establish Tree Planting to meet the design aims? Can all the required resources and costs be easily identified at the outset? The good news is cost-effective Cloud-based collaboration software fully supports Tree planting with automated tree planting project costing. Thanks to #UKRI #DEFRA #TDAG and #MysercoughCollege - who have gratefully contributed their valuable interest and support in enabling this Innovation Tech, to meet today's amenity, community woodland, urban forestry and forest design needs.

What’s your favourite tree? We asked the team on a recent site visit...🌳 From the graceful Ash to resilient pines, each of us has a story behind our favourite tree and it's good to touch base with that story every now and then. What’s your favourite, and why? And when did you last see one? If you feel inclined, please share your story in the comments below. Otherwise, happy tree-dreaming! #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Forestry #TreeLove #TeamForestCarbon #Reforestation #EnvironmentalImpact

PEFC continues to grow 📊🌲 The Q2 stats are in, and there is positive news for sustainable forestry! 🌳 Global PEFC-certified forest area has increased by over 1 million hectares since Q1, reflecting continued progress. Over the past year, the certified area has grown by nearly 2% - that’s 5.6 million hectares. These numbers show the growing global commitment to responsible forestry and sustainability. Let’s continue this positive trend together. 🌍 #sustainability #forestry #PEFC

🐄 I really LOVE technology But sometimes, we get it wrong In this scenario, cows are kept inside a barn. A mow robot harvests fresh grass and brings it to the cow Love the idea, but this is actual madness. 1. Cows are made to live on pasture 2. Why invest in expensive machinery and buildings if cows will do the mowing for free 3. We miss out on massive regeneration benefits that cows bring to the landscape Let cows be part of the ecosystem please and don't break this natural cycle Replacing parts of a natural cycle is always too expensive and too much work, so just, don't, do it. #regenerative #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #agroecology #regenerativefarming #agroforestry #farming #tuin #tuinarchitectuur #permacultuur #permaculture #voedselbos

#Gabonforestproud🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦 (Forest Stewardship Council) certification in Gabon plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable forest management in one of the world's most forested countries. Gabon is home to vast tropical rainforests, which are part of the Congo Basin, a critical region for global biodiversity and climate regulation. FSC certification ensures that logging and forest management practices in Gabon meet international standards for environmental responsibility, social benefits, and economic viability. It helps protect biodiversity, reduces illegal logging, and supports the livelihoods of local communities, including Indigenous peoples. Gabon has made significant efforts to promote sustainable forestry, and FSC certification is a key component of the country's strategy to balance economic development with conservation. In fact, Gabon aims to have all its forestry concessions certified by the FSC, making it a leader in sustainable forest management in Africa. This certification also boosts Gabon's position in the global timber market, providing access to environmentally conscious markets that demand sustainably sourced wood products.

Getting permission to plant trees - are you struggling getting trees in the ground? Whilst there is the enthusiasm to plant trees from both public and government, those wanting to plant trees are really struggling. From our film "What is holding back woodland creation in the UK?"

🌿 Fun Fact: Did you know that sustainable forestry is gaining traction across Europe? Many wood producers are securing certifications like FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), which guarantee that the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests. 🌍 Let's support these efforts towards a greener future! 💚 #Sustainability #Forestry #FSC #PEFC #ResponsibleForestry #FunFact #TuesdayInformation #Certification #ForestCertification

Did you know that FSC's forest management certification uploads the world's strictest requirements for responsible forestry? It confirms that a forest is being managed in a way that preserves biodiversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability.
