What's Happening?
Forestry experts are calling for increased collaboration between farmers and foresters to address shared challenges in the rural economy. The UK Forest Market Report 2025, published by Tilhill Forestry and Goldcrest Land and Forestry Group, highlights
the need for synergy between these groups to tackle issues such as government policy, product prices, and climate change. The report will be presented at events in Edinburgh and London, featuring discussions on integrating forestry with modern land management and sustainable practices.
Why It's Important?
Collaboration between farmers and foresters is essential for sustainable land management and addressing the economic and environmental challenges facing rural areas. By working together, these groups can develop strategies to optimize land use, improve sustainability, and enhance the resilience of rural economies. The report's findings and recommendations could influence policy decisions and encourage more integrated approaches to land management, benefiting both the environment and local communities.
What's Next?
The events in Edinburgh and London will provide a platform for stakeholders to discuss the findings of the UK Forest Market Report and explore opportunities for collaboration. The discussions are expected to focus on practical solutions for integrating forestry with agriculture, promoting sustainable practices, and addressing the challenges posed by climate change and economic pressures. The outcomes of these events could lead to new initiatives and partnerships aimed at improving land management and sustainability in the UK.
