Farm Gate 103: The Wood from the Trees

Farm Gate

Forests are super important - they have enormous environmental, economic, cultural and amenity value as well as being sources of food and nutrition, medicines, habitats, fuel and, of course, building materials.

In this programme, we discuss what timber can do - why forests are so important - how public support for commercial forestry could be improved - and where forestry fits within broader land use conversations.

ffinlo Costain is joined by Paul Brannen, the author of Timber! How wood can help save the world from climate breakdown - and by sustainable forestry consultant, Andrew Heald.
