A thriving timber industry offers economic, environmental and social benefits to Wales. Opportunities exist all along the supply chain, from nurseries through forest management, harvesting, restocking, sawmilling, right through to the end-use of timber, for example in construction or furniture.

Join session chair, Huwel Manley, operations manager for Natural Resources Wales (NRW) as he hosts a remote panel discussion focused around how to make wood work for Wales. Panel members will include Woodknowledge Wales’ CEO, Gary Newman, Elaine Harrison, National Manager Wales at Confor: Confederation of Forest Industries (UK) and Steve Cranston, Project Lead for Welsh Government’s Delivering Net Zero.

This Wales Climate Week session will open by showcasing companies in Wales who use timber and who have chosen to put fairness at the heart of their operating models. The panel members will then discuss the actions needed to promote a healthy, growing timber industry in Wales.

  • How can the use of timber accelerate decarbonisation of the natural and built environments?
  • How can we deliver low-carbon housing in Wales through the use of Welsh grown timber? 
  • How can we encourage inclusive recruitment and retention in an industry with a huge range of jobs, skills and careers on offer?

Want to know more about the Welsh timber industry, carbon sequestration within timber products, timber training and careers?

This session will be of interest to anyone who:

  • would like to know more about the environmental, economic and social benefits offered by the Welsh timber industry.
  • are interested in reducing embodied carbon in construction, in taking a whole life-cycle approach which recognises carbon sequestration within timber products.

Sawmillers visit Grosvenor’s Eaton Estate in Cheshire

by

Woodland creation is a viable economic option for some areas of the estate’s farmlands

Grosvenor Eaton Estate’s Head Forester Greg Vickers hosted a visit to the estate’s state-of-the-art sawmilling operation, Grosvenor TimberWorks, and woodlands for Woodknowledge Wales on 25th November 2023.

Participants enjoyed a two-hour morning tour of the sawmill located in Hatton Heath, near Chester, followed by an afternoon walk through just some of the extensive woodlands managed by Greg.

Since 2015, Greg has been Head Forester for more than 2,000 hectares of woodlands across Grosvenor’s Eaton Estate in Cheshire, the Abbeystead Estate in Lancashire, the Halkyn and Nant Estates in Wales, and the Reay Forest Estate in Scotland.

The woodlands create local employment and supply materials to building and property maintenance activities across various estate holdings. The Eaton Estate alone has over 450 properties requiring routine maintenance and upgrades.

The Hatton Heath sawmill

Hatton Heath Mill took five years to build and became operational in 2021. To construct the sawmill, the project team had softwood grown on Grosvenor’s Reay Forest Estate in the North West Highlands shipped to BSW Fort William sawmill for processing, then transported to the Makar Workshop near Inverness. Here the workshop constructed frames and panels and had them transported down to the Eaton Estate for assembly. To fit in with the estate’s vernacular, the sawmill has a red-brick façade, and details such as red rainwater fittings. All the timber fittings within the building use estate-grown and processed hardwoods.

The site is on the southern edge of estate lands and was formerly a dairy farm. Three full time staff are employed in the mill, working five days a week. At present the sawmill aims to produce 2500m3 timber products per annum. The estate uses 20% of production internally across its various sites. The rest it sells to third parties. A small workshop facilitates on-site secondary processing of stock for the buildings team.

The mill works five days per week, usually milling hardwoods on two days and softwood for the other three days. The mill’s daily output can vary between 5m3 and 7m3 when processing hardwood, where special orders will often make up part of the production. When milling softwood, the outputs can rise to 15m3 per day.

The team stack timber outdoors for air drying prior to kilning. They fell and mill hardwoods in winter to avoid rapid drying during summer months.

As well as processing timber from its English and Welsh estates, timber is transported by ship from the Reay Estate via Kinlochbervie in Sutherland to Mostyn Docks. The short distance between the port and the estate helps minimise distance travelled by road, reducing its carbon footprint

The Eaton Estate woodlands

The Eaton Estate woodlands occupy over 400 hectares on the Cheshire plain. Planted for landscape and amenity use in the 1840’s on what had been agricultural land, the woodlands occupy sites along the five approaches (formal drives) to the main hall. The medieval ridge and furrow system are clearly visible within the woodland.

The heavy clay soils primarily hosts oak alongside a mix of broadleaf and conifers. Ash, alder, sycamore, lime, beech, hornbeam, and birch grow among Douglas fir, yew, larch, western red cedar, and Norway spruce. More recent plantings of hybrid lime and cherry have achieved yield class 8 to 10 with Douglas fir achieving yield classes in the high teens. Hornbeam is growing well but attempts to grow sweet chestnut have not been so successful.

Woodland creation is a viable economic option over traditional agricultural practices for some areas of the estate. In particular, the lower ground near the Dee flood plain.

The tour ended back at the sawmill and a donation was made to the Estate’s chosen charity in thanks for their hospitality.

Experts identify actions needed to mitigate potentially catastrophic threats to UK Forests

by

New paper published highlighting key issues that must be addressed if our woodlands are to continue to deliver the range of benefits on which we depend.

A chilly pathway through the forest

Woodknowledge Wales’ Specialist Advisor Wood Science, Dainis Dauksta, and new board member Professor John Healey from Bangor University, joined a team of 42 European experts to carry out a horizon-scanning exercise and identify previously overlooked opportunities and threats faced by UK forests over the next 50 years.

Results were published in, ‘A horizon scan of issues affecting UK forest management within 50 years‘ by Tew et al., whichwas published in Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research in November 2023 [1]

Dr Eleanor Tew, Head of Forest Planning at Forestry England and visiting researcher at Cambridge’s Department of Zoology emphasised that “The next 50 years will bring huge changes to UK forests: the threats they face, the way that we manage them, and the benefits they deliver to society” [2]

John Healey, Professor of Forest Sciences at Bangor University further explained that “There are many challenges to overcome to ensure that our woodlands not only provide crucial habitat for biodiversity conservation, and environments that are invaluable for human wellbeing, but also continue to produce wood as a vital renewable material that has a key role to play in achieving net zero emissions to meet the challenge of the climate crisis.” [3]

In the new paper, the authors focus on 15 emerging issues from a collated list of 180 that, while previously overlooked, are expected to have significant impact on UK forests over the next half century.

Source: Figure 2 Tew et al, A horizon scan of issues affecting UK forest management within 50 years, Forestry

In their thematic analysis, the authors were able to map all fifteen issues across eleven themes of significance within three main categories: environmental shocks and perturbations, political and socio-economic drivers, and emerging interactions, as shown in Figure 2 above.

The top-ranking issue in the final list when scored individually by the expert panel was ‘Catastrophic forest ecosystem collapse’. A reference to the cascading consequences caused by the interconnected impact of a combination of hazards affecting forest environments, this level of damage to forest ecosystems has already been witnessed in North America and continental Europe. Other threats include competition with society for water, viral diseases, and extreme weather affecting forest management.

While delivering an unequivocal tale of caution and call to action, the final list of 15 issues summarised in the paper’s abstract includes a number of opportunities that are key to mitigating the adverse outcomes of climate change on both the natural world and human societies.

“It was notable that three of the selected 15 issues focused on predicted shifts in future wood product markets and the challenge of ensuring that commercial forest resources do match future value chains. It was important that the Woodknowledge Wales and Bangor University participants in the Expert Panel played a valuable role in advocating for the inclusion of these issues and developing their description in the resulting paper,” said Healey.

Summarising the significance of the expert review as a whole, Professor Bill Sutherland, Senior author and pioneer of horizon scanning at the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, noted “We are already seeing dramatic events in Europe’s forests whether fires, disease or bark beetles, whilst the importance of trees is increasingly recognised. Horizon scanning to identify future issues is key, especially as trees planted now will face very different circumstances as they mature in scores of years.”  [2]

This research was funded by Forestry England. The Forestry Commission is bringing the sector together in 2024 to look at next steps.

CoP update: Joiners Community of Practice

by

Newly launched CoP to focus on market differentiation, skills and how to make the joinery sector more engaging

Our new joiners Community of Practice (CoP) launched mid-November with a mix of different sized businesses participating. 

Those present expressed interest in being part of the Community so they might hear from others, discuss individual challenges, and learn about how to leverage opportunities. A number of topics for further discussion came up during this initial meeting. These included the challenges associated with market competition driven by imports from Europe and market differentiation. CoP members also want to discuss how they can support one another and their industry. In particular, they wish to look for opportunity around skills and recruitment, and how to attract and engage newcomers into the joinery sector.

Joinery businesses interested in discussing opportunities and challenges of skills and recruitment are encouraged to join the next meeting on 30th November, 9-10am via Zoom.  On the agenda:

  • Challenge: What is your biggest challenge – recruitment overall or lack of skilled people?
  • Recruitment: Are you or have you been experiencing any recruitment challenges? Is / was this impacting on your business? If so, how? Have you developed a process to mitigate this? If so, what does it look like?
  • Skills: Do you need to train new employees? Do you have a training programme for all staff? Do you have any working relationship with local colleges/universities?
  • Potential: If you had complete power, what would your top three actions be to turn this challenge into an opportunity?

Results of the discussion will inform a report on skills across all sectors of the wood value chain as part of the Home Grown Homes Project. 

If you are unable to attend but would like to share your views and experience with us, please contact christiane.lellig@woodknowledgewales.co.uk.

Confor UK Policy Conference

by

7 December 2023, QEII Centre, Westminster

Dr Eilidh Forster, a former Woodknowledge Wales funded researcher Bangor University, and Gail Merriman, Head of Timber Industrial Strategy, Welsh Government, will speak at Confor’s UK Policy Conference – ‘Green Growth: Why Wood is the Missing Low-Carbon Link’. Forster will cover the carbon story of UK wood and the benefits of circularity while Merriman will present lessons from Wales in prioritising domestic wood use.

“This exciting conference will provide further evidence that there is unstoppable momentum behind the forestry and timber construction agenda throughout the UK. Woodknowledge Wales will work to ensure there is synergy between the National Wood Strategy for England and the Welsh Government’s Timber Industrial Strategy, without compromising the unique opportunities that exist in Wales.” Gary Newman, CEO, Woodknowledge Wales.

Part of a coordinated programme to push forestry and wood as a crucial element of the UK’s economic and environmental future, Confor’s Chief Executive, Stuart Goodall, will will start the day by calling for a move From Evidence to Action across a range of important industry issues. He will then discuss those issues in conversation with Forestry Minister Trudy Harrison MP. Confor has also invited the Labour Party to share its forestry and wood vision.

Incorporating the official launch of The National Wood Strategy for England, the 2023 UK policy conference will examine the potential for wood to provide huge benefits for the UK’s economy and environment. Held at the QEII Centre, Westminster, on Thursday 7 December 2023.

Confor members can book now at the specially-discounted rate of £50+VAT, which includes access to all sessions, lunch and refreshments throughout the day. Non-member tickets are £75+VAT.

Shaping policy to overcome forestry and wood industry barriers

The reports calling for far greater domestic wood production in the UK are piling up like a stack of timber by a forest road. The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) laid down the challenge clearly in its report in July; importing 80% of the timber we use in the UK can’t go on and it’s time to produce much more here.

The conference comes at a crucial time as political parties shape policy ahead of the 2024 General Election. It’s vital that the forestry and wood industry identifies those specific policy actions which we need the next UK Government to take, to help our industry thrive – and deliver those significant economic and environmental benefits.

The conference will hear from new Forestry Minister Robbie Moore MP – his first major engagement as a Defra Minister – and will also include the launch of the National Wood Strategy for England. Lead author Tom Barnes will discuss the key points of the strategy and next steps, while Naomi Matthiessen will respond on behalf of Defra.  

The event will look at how we take forward the EAC report in a meaningful way, while future skills, carbon, timber construction, and woodland management will also be on the agenda.

We’ll hear from politicians, the Climate Change Committee and representatives from across our industry and beyond – to join the dots and ensure that wood is at the heart of a future built on green growth.

Early booking is advised as places are limited and Confor anticipates a high demand to attend. For any enquiries about booking, or the event itself, please contact eliza@confor.org.uk.

Global call for scalable biobased construction material solutions

by

Built by Nature offers its first global prize worth €500,000 to reecognise innovation and stimulate scalability in the use of biobased materials in construction

We know from our work with construction professionals throughout the UK the importance of stimulating scalable innovation in products manufactured using sustainably sourced timber and renewable biobased materials such as timber, bamboo, hemp, straw, algae, and fungi. Generating up to 40% of the world’s greenhouse gases, the built environment offers huge potential in the application of tangible, realistic solutions that address climate change through decarbonisation of our cities and buildings.

“Where was this prize twenty-five years ago when I was running my hemp factory?” exclaimed Gary Newman, CEO, Woodknowledge Wales. “It is fantastic to see initiatives like this supporting development of nature-based solutions, which are so critical to the sustainability and decarbonisation agenda. The need for such support is essential to regenerating the natural and build environments throughout the world.”

The Built by Nature Prize, totalling €500,000, is supported by Laudes Foundation and LTPP, aims to identify and attract biobased construction material manufacturers and their market-ready innovations from all regions and help those producers overcome barriers to mainstream market entry.

“Given the scale of urban development that is inevitable around the world over the coming decades, we simply cannot afford to build in the way we have in most of Europe for the last few hundred years. We urgently need to find innovative, renewable, low-carbon construction materials to radically reduce the embodied carbon footprint of new buildings and cities,” said Paul King, Built by Nature CEO.

Built by Nature, a network and grant-making fund, has awarded €3.3 million in grants to date with additional co-funding of €2.2 million toward 28 projects across Europe focused on developing solutions to overcome barriers and stimulate increased uptake of biobased materials, with a focus on mass timber. 

To reflect the global scope of the Prize, the judging panel is comprised of leading experts from the built environment, architecture, finance, social value, and biomaterials from around the world. Dr Yasmeen Lari, Pakistan’s first female architect and renowned for her leadership at the intersection of architecture and social justice, will serve as Honorary Advisor to the Built by Nature Prize. The Prize jury members are:  

  • Arief Rabik – Chair and Founder of Bamboo Village Trust, and founder and CEO of PT Indobamboo Lestari in Indonesia. 
  • Ariel Shtarkman – Managing Partner of Undivided Ventures, co-Founder and Managing Director of Atom Assets. 
  • Mae-ling Lokko, from Ghana and the Philippines, is Assistant Professor at Yale University’s School of Architecture, specialising in agrowaste and biobased materials.  
  • Stig Hessellund – Architect and project manager with Realdania, with a primary focus on sustainable development in the construction industry. 
  • Ana Belizario is head of business development at Brazilian mass timber producer Urbem. 

The prize’s overall winner will receive an award of €250,000 with the criteria focusing on the demonstrated potential for significant carbon emissions reduction and benefits to nature and local communities.  

Three runners-up prizes of €50,000 each will also be awarded based on the same criteria, with €100,000 in discretionary funds reserved for promising projects judged to be worthy of support. 

To qualify, proposed solutions must be composed primarily of biomaterials with primary use intended for the built environment; indicate that the product can be successfully manufactured and implemented using currently available technology, and the product/service must already be in market, whether through an early-stage pilot project or openly available. 

In addition to the prize money, valuable exposure and storytelling opportunities, benefits to award recipients will include introductions across Built by Nature’s extensive frontrunner and partner networks for mentoring support, access to potential investors and new markets,​ and facilitated connections to peers facing similar challenges and opportunities around the world​. By promoting public and industry awareness and education around the potential benefits and applications of the materials solutions, the winners will directly contribute to Built by Nature’s vision and mission. 

The deadline for applications is January 25, 2024, with final winners to be announced on June 4. Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the Built by Nature Prize website for full details.

November 2023

This update has been prepared by David Hedges, our Head of Housing and the Home-Grown Homes 2 project manager

David Hedges

New Personnel

This month, the Woodknowledge Wales Team has been boosted by the appointment of two new members. 

Flora Seddon has been appointed as the third of researchers by Bangor University and will focus on delivering the Project’s work to scale up farm forestry through collective and collaborative management’. Collective management of dispersed small-scale farm woodlands will be essential for addressing society’s demand for timber which is set to triple over the next thirty years. Flora will explore how geographically dispersed farm woodlands can be managed collectively to overcome the scaling issues of farm-level timber production and how forest products can be collaboratively marketed. She will focus on the UK (and Wales specifically) but draw on examples of collective management of small-scale forestry abroad.

Toby Maclean has joined the team as Specialist Advisor Construction and will be supporting us in delivering those elements of the Project focussed on carbon analysis and reduction. Toby is a structural engineer with a diverse career engineering everything from oil platforms and concert halls to handbags.  He established the successful TALL Engineers in 2005 that went on to build a reputation for providing practical yet technically sophisticated and holistic solutions to diverse projects in the built environment and concentrating on design from first principles, with the firm increasingly concentrating on timber as a structural material.  Having sold this firm, in 2020 Toby established Allt Environmental to atone for past carbon sins and to address the urgent need to decarbonise the built environment especially in relation to embodied carbon. Since Allt was established, Toby has mixed project work, research and consultancy, with a focus in understanding the environmental impacts of timber in construction.

Sawmill sustainability

Our work with sawmills across Wales continues with further engagement with mills to see new investment, support collective action of NRW timber sales and tackle challenges like the lack of hauliers and weighbridges.  Partners ASBP and GHA are making good progress on the development of carbon tools for timber processors, timber manufacturers, designers and clients and we are looking to work with a number of our members on Building Performance Evaluation on projects that are nearing completion on site, before the current ‘heating season’ ends in March next year. (I don’t think we can refer to the CoPs anymore because of the risk that we’ll be accused of double funding!

The Skills and Recruitment Review

We have seen the completion of the first main project output – a review of education and training in forestry and advanced manufacturing and the emerging conclusions around the following issues which featured in all of the stakeholder interviews James Moxey and Ceri Loxton have carried out over the past few months:

1.   Awareness: gaining the attention of wider society to the role that forestry and low-carbon construction play in decarbonising Welsh society;
2.   Interest: focusing on the incentives that will encourage people to consider starting their careers within the sectors;
3.   Access: create the appropriate learning pathways to get the best training and develop the skills needed; and

4.   Workforce: support entrants to the sector by creating opportunities to gain experience, employment, and Continuing Professional Development.

There are recommendations to address the skills and recruitment gaps and interestingly there are challenges, causes and potential solutions common to both sectors. The report is going to be circulated for comment to the stakeholders and the feedback will be reviewed in December.

Wales’ first Timber Industrial Strategy

This will take shape next year with a consultation by the Climate Change Minister Julie James MS which will align with other initiatives like the Delivering Net Zero Project and the Net Zero Skills Action Plan for example. As part of the Project, we are supporting the development of the Strategy and we are currently putting together a series of case studies which will be incorporated into the consultation document. These will focus on growers, processors, manufacturers and clients.
