Following the publication of the Independent Panel on Forestry Report in July 2012, this contained recommendations including :-

Recommendation 18: We urge Government, woodland owners and businesses to seize the opportunity provided by woodlands to grow our green economy by strengthening the supply chain, and promoting the use of wood more widely across our society and economy. These and other actions should be set out in a Wood Industry Action Plan.

The wood industry would appear to have grasped the metal and have now launched a new website where details of initiatives in respect of recommendation 18 can be found at :-
