Tom Barnes: The Messy Middle

Jez meets with Tom Barnes of Vastern Timber based in Wiltshire to talk about the realities of where our wood comes from. Tom talks about the innovative and dynamic approaches Vastern embrace in supplying UK timber to the private and commercial sector. The future of timber supply, our woodlands and the biodiversity they support are all under increasingly severe threats linked to climate change, pests, diseases, and a lack of or mis-management - so what's the answer? Is there one? 

Diversity, resilience, and creative approaches to growing timber and maintaining our woodlands certainly seems to one approach.
