RT by @PaulBrannenNE: Reports calling for greater domestic wood production are piling up like timber by a forest road. @CommonsEAC says importing 80% of the timber the UK uses can’t go on.
Discuss this & much more at our policy conference on Dec 7 @QEIICentre Book: https://www.confor.org.uk/resources/events/confor-policy-conference/ @DefraGovUK

Just as a dog is for life, not just for Christmas, so with a tree.
Government should target tree aftercare rather than planting, say UK experts:

RT by @PaulBrannenNE: Results from this study show that #agroforestry is a powerful #climate adaptation and mitigation solution as it can increase household resilience and sequesters significant amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

RT by @PaulBrannenNE: I always hear about a “rush of tree planting” and I would love to know what people are talking about.
Have you ever tried getting woodland creation grants in England or Wales? Blood from a stone would be easier.
We’ve never hit our national targets.

Melbourne, Australia has the possibility for 50 build on top - vertical extensions - in mass timber. Extending the life span of existing office buildings but with new residential flats on top. One such extension has turned every dollar spent into a 3 dollar value increase.

Which could store more carbon? Building more with wood or insulating more with wood fibre? I’d guess the potential insulation market is the bigger market. Discuss. But the two together is colossal & what we should aim for

In Vancouver any material used on site from a dismantled / deconstructed building is deemed carbon neutral with regards the new build. Good idea Vancouver! Reuse and cycling is key combined with design for disassembly & reuse

“There is no question about the inequality of wealth in England. It is grosser than in any European country, and you have only to look down the nearest street to see it. Economically, England is certainly two nations, if not three or four.” Orwell in 1941 & it hasn’t changed.

RT by @PaulBrannenNE: This is how you plant street trees: Get the council and residents talking to each other, get the residents watering those trees, or they’ll just die. They can use washing up water or whatever chemical safe water is going spare to reduce bills/waste. https://harrowonline.org/2023/10/08/hundreds-of-new-trees-planted-in-harrow-as-residents-and-council-unite/

I wrote to my bank manager today and told her that my agreement to pay my mortgage each month was only illustrative of the kind of bill I might pay. Looking forward to her reply.
