@Ben_Spencer This was the last piece of major commercial forestry planted in England at Doddington in Northumberland in 2018. Definitely not a monoculture. First piece of significant planting in England for ten years, nothing else since. Need more native & commercial planting @theresecoffey

An important step today towards an EU wide system that will enable carbon credits to be allocated if carbon is safely stored long-term in wood in buildings. See https://www.cei-bois.org/press-releases @CEIBois
