Managing forests sustainably, for timber production, helps reduce net carbon dioxide emissions. When the trees are harvested, carbon locked up while they were growing remains stored in the timber. Using timber in buildings and other long-term uses, such as furniture, keeps that carbon locked away. Meanwhile the harvested crop of trees is replanted, locking up more carbon and the cycle continues.
There is real potential for Wales to increase and to add value to our home-grown supply of timber, also to reuse and recycle more wood.
This creates a real opportunity for foresters, timber processors and manufacturers in Wales to contribute to a ‘wood economy’. Multiple opportunities can flow from forest nurseries through planting, management, harvesting, milling to designing and constructing end products that continue to lock-up carbon for years after the timber has left the forest.
