520 _aIn the past decade, concern about farm woodlands has been growing steadily. The new broadleaf policy of the Forestry Commission , which included a new type of grant for planting broadleaf species was announced in 1985 and is now well accepted and, with the UK producing only 12% of its timber consumption from its own forests, there is increasing interest in farm woodland and the establishment of woodlands on marginal land. The problems and possibilities of woodland expansion are reviewed and the experience of Sylvanus . a woodland advisory and marketing service, quoted. By the end of the century, there could be 150,000 ha of new woodland scattered around the country according to the requirements and situation of individual landowners. Levels of grant will be the catalysts which will bring this about. References.
