Some of the biggest names in the UK timber industry are to meet with the Government’s Independent Panel on Forestry in a bid to ensure commercial interests are recognised as part of future policy for forestry and woodland management. 

 A team made up of EGGER (UK) Ltd, James Jones & Sons, BSW Timber and Iggesund Paper Board is to meet with Panel members during their visit to the Kielder Forest in Northumberland on Tuesday (26 July 2011).

 Chaired by the Right Reverend James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool, the Panel was established in March 2011 to advise Government on the future direction of forestry and woodland policy in England – and the role of the Forestry Commission in implementing that policy.
