FEG Symposium October 20073
WHERE HAVE WE COME FROM?
Policy
• Post-war emphasis on production, like agriculture
• Agricultural policy put forestry on marginal land
• Plantation forestry the way forward - as the means of rebuilding the nation’s forest resources
![Page 4: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
FEG Symposium October 20074
WHERE HAVE WE COME FROM?
Achievements
• Single purpose objective - expansion
• Forest area more than doubled in 80 years
• 1.5 million hectares of new forests created
• Biggest single land use change in modern times
![Page 5: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
FEG Symposium October 20075
WHERE HAVE WE COME FROM?
How?
A powerful machine was created:
• dedicated research programmes
• technological innovation
• operational planning
• committed work force
• private and public sectors working together
• strong government backing

FEG Symposium October 20076
WHERE HAVE WE COME FROM?
Science and Engineering
• Foresters scoured the world for fast growing species
• Scientific advances - in fertilisation, tree breeding, pesticides, etc
• Engineering solutions - ploughing and cultivation, road building, etc
![Page 7: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
FEG Symposium October 20077
WHERE HAVE WE COME FROM?
Changes - last 20 years
• Forestry policy
• Regulation
• Incentives
• Forestry Standards
• Forest management and practice
By the end of the 1990s, forestry’s role insustainable development had become well established

FC - ENCOURAGING MECHANISMS
• Work with the UK timber sector to promote the use of timber and wood products
• Work with private sector to predict wood supplies, and support continued investment in timber processing
• Build confidence in products• Support market development by making the
case for timber with politicians, planners, building regs, developers and architects
![Page 49: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

FC - SUPPORTING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
• FC spend of £1.4 million on timber related R&D
• Innovative processes and products tailored to UK timber strengths
• Reduction in timber miles, and use of alternative methods of transport to road
• Continuous efficiency improvements in the timber supply chain through e-Business and closer supplier/customer relationships
![Page 50: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

• Code for Sustainable Houses introduced in April 2007 to drive a step change in sustainable home building practice
• Will become the single national standard for sustainable homes
• Will form basis for future developments in Building Regulation in relation to carbon emissions from, and energy use in, homes
![Page 51: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
FEG Symposium October 200751
DEVELOPMENTS (CONT’D)
• Timber certification recognised as a mechanism in ensuring responsible sourcing of materials for construction
• From April 2009 Government departments will purchase only timber and timber products that derive from sustainably managed forests or are licensed under a FLEGT agreement
• From April 2015 only sustainably produced timber will be purchased
![Page 52: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
FEG Symposium October 200752
DEVELOPMENTS (CONT’D)
• Housing Green Paper published in July 2007 - 3 million new homes needed by 2020 will 2 million by 2016
• Sustainable construction will have a key role in this programme
• UK Biomass Strategy, England Woodfuel Strategy and Biomass Action Plan for Scotland all published in 2007
• 2012 Olympics have core sustainability targets
![Page 53: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
FEG Symposium October 200753
DEVELOPMENTS - CLIMATE CHANGE
THE NUMBER ONE priority because:
• Forests are a PROBLEM - nearly 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions are from deforestation
• Forests provide SOLUTIONS
– forests sequester carbon
– forests help us to adapt to climate change
– wood products store carbon
– wood as a fuel is carbon neutral
![Page 54: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
FEG Symposium October 200754
SEQUESTRATION
• Growing trees absorb CO2 and produce O2
• A typical tree absorbs the equivalent of 1 tonne of CO2 for every cubic metre of growth while producing 0.7 tonne of O2
• Europe’s forests store 9.5 billion tonnes CO2
![Page 55: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
FEG Symposium October 200755
WOOD ENERGY
• When wood cannot be re-used or re-cycled it can produce energy by burning
• As the CO2 emitted is no more than the amount stored, burning wood is carbon neutral
![Page 56: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
FEG Symposium October 200756
WOOD PRODUCTS
• No other commonly used building material requires so little energy to produce as wood
• Because wood products have an ultra-low carbon footprint they can substitute for materials like steel, aluminium, concrete and plastics
• Every m3 of wood as a substitute for other building materials reduces CO2 emissions by 1.1 tonne CO2
![Page 57: FORESTRY - TO 2020 Tim Rollinson Director General Forestry Commission](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815996550346895dc6df81/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
FEG Symposium October 200757
HEADLINE MESSAGES
• Conserve carbon stocks - reduce deforestation
• Manage existing forests sustainably• Restore forest cover - reforestation• Substitute fossil fuel with biomass for energy• Substitute energy intensive materials with
