haha get in:lol:

 

In regards to importing I cant see a problem Iam in no way an expert on the forestry and log side of this industry but many of my associates are struggling to timber for logs and I've for estates that own woods and have told me they are taking timber from woods they shouldn't be:confused1: I know we have un-managed woods which might balance it out but if our woods are being stripped bare maybe its better for them if we imported?

Kind of says it all.

If timber is imported it wouldnt take work away from people, it still needs to be cut, split and delivered. Better than nothing at all.

And like other people said we already import allsorts and i might also be wrong about this but doesn't our seas get fished then imported to other countries only to be imported back to us:confused1:

Dont know about fish, except trucks take the vast majority of it from northern Scotland to Spain, Portugal and France where its sold and it doesnt come back this way. There are also numerous fish proccessors in Aberdeen and surrounding fishing towns, aswell as Cornwall, chances are thats where you ll get your fish from?

Whats the comparrison to firewood?

What!? corse it would take work away from people. People in this country get paid to cut the timber for firewood that people buy in bulk then it gives the buyer and his employes work to split it. Why mess it up? This country allready buys to much wood from abroad for other materials for building etc. theres plenty of wood to go round as stated above I just fail to see why and how this is going to benefit anyone except Jayvee?

like i said mate i might have it wrong but i have seen and read that stock from our seas gets expoted out then back to us at a higher price its only an un educated view of mine just what i have seen and read but if its true what is the problem in buying timber from abroad if it saves our woods from being over thinned? you could argue some woods are empty and some are left to their own devices which lets people like hama etc enjoy their side of things so we have a good balance?

coppicing means regrowth therefor not just clobbering trees your clobbering and regrowing some for the next generation.

 

The number of woodlands ive seen that have been un-managed and need a thin compared to those that have been managed and thined IMO makes me think there is plenty of wood to go round, there plenty of timber to go round.
