Description

The project will develop an assurance scheme for the UK forestry sector to encourage the industry to source and plant UK grown material. Imports of planting stock provides a pathway for pests and diseases and following the high profile outbreaks such as Ash dieback in 2012, there is a need to support the industry to increase the amount of home-produced planting material.
