• Growing our Woodlands in Wales

  In association with the Forestry Commission Wales

  This conference will engage with the Welsh Government’s policy to significantly increase the woodland cover in Wales from the present 14 per cent of the land area to 20 per cent by 2030. Creating new woodland offers benefits to the people in Wales aside from helping mitigate the impact of climate change. New woodland will consist of mainly native trees and will provide additional wildlife habitat, improve the quality of our landscape and waters and, at the same time, create useful timber products such as fuel and wood as a raw material.

  Parc Thistle Hotel, Cardiff 9.00am - 4.00pm
