Forestry Research
Broadleaved forests in the UK are important, not just for wildlife, landscape and amenity, but for producing homegrown hardwood timber. These forests also play an important role in absorbing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Growing high quality, and therefore highly valuable, hardwood timber must play an important role in making broadleaved forestry sustainable and may help to reduce the UK's reliance on tropical hardwoods such as mahogany.
A successful future for broadleaved forestry in the UK is an important factor in rural Britain, which is increasingly under pressure to diversify. This can be achieved through growing trees with 'built-in' quality via tree breeding, and through improving the ways our forests are managed. The Northmoor Trust aims to play a major role in steering forestry and other land based industries towards a sustainable future.
