Confor has launched a writing competition<\/a> designed to stimulate debate on the potential for forestry and wood processing to deliver the a more sustainable society.\u00a0 Brexit is not the only big change on the horizon, since we already have the problems of climate change and raw materials scarcity<\/a>. Undoubtedly forests and forest products have to be a big part how we approach those in the desired future bioeconomy<\/a>, but doing so as one of the lesser forested countries and Europe and one of the biggest timber importers in the world.<\/p>\n

Huge decisions and policies are being made now that will affect our literal and metaphorical landscape for decades to come.\u00a0 We certainly need some good ideas.<\/p>\n

Industry professionals and students (aged 30 and under) are invited to write a short essay about their vision of the future – with cash prizes of \u00a3500, \u00a3250 and \u00a3100 on offer for the three best entries (Thanks to sponsorship by Tilhill Forestry).<\/p>\n

The winners will be presented with their prizes at a reception hosted by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Forestry at Westminster on the evening of 20th November – but don’t let that put you off \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

While you are thinking about this, you may also like to take a look at the consultation on Scotland’s Forestry Strategy 2019-2029<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
