Grown In Britain

Grown in Britain works at every stage of the forest product supply chain to support the use of UK timber. Over recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the importance of source. People want to support our nation’s woods and forests by purchasing local timber products; and major construction companies, high street retailers and public authorities are demanding Grown in Britain products as part of their procurement policies. In the UK, we import £7.8bn of foreign timber each year, whilst neglecting the potential of our own forests and woodlands. Only China imports more wood than the UK. Grown in Britain certification reduces unnecessary imports, by encouraging and supporting active and sustainable management of our own forests and woodlands.
