Information on removals from Forestry Commission (FC), Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and Forest Service (FS) woodlands is obtained from administrative systems. A total of 4.7 million green tonnes of softwood was removed from FC/NRW/FS woodlands in 2015, a 3% decrease from the 2014 figure (Table 2.3). Over one half (56%)...

It is estimated that 70% of all softwood removals from private sector woodlands were harvested in Scotland, 18% in England, 11% in Wales and the remainder in Northern Ireland in 2015 (Table 2.2).
