Many people don’t realise that our woodland economy is worth over £16M every year to the area. And our plan is to help stimulate this significantly. 
Even so, the potential for a greater economic impact from sustainably managed woodland is huge, particularly when so many are currently unmanaged.

When we stack up all the known values of the services our Biosphere woodlands provide (carbon storage, flood attenuation, tourism, etc) the value is in the order of £58M per annum.

Our aim is to increase the role of woodlands in our economy and for the benefits they bring to the area through slowing water, trapping carbon, improving biodiversity and being great places for people to visit.
