Farmng Today This Week - Forestry
Sybil Ruscoe heads out into the woods of Lydney Park Estate with the site's forestry team to discuss UK woodlands and the timber sector today.
Sybil Ruscoe heads out into the glorious woods at Lydney Park Estate in the Forest of Dean, as Farming Today concludes its focus on forestry - from trees on farms, to the health of planting projects.
She meets Head Forester Chris Waskett, to discuss the site and forestry more broadly in Britain today; before visiting the on-site sawmill to find out about booming demand for timber.
Meanwhile Richard Greenhouse from the Forestry Commission talks about the state of woodland in the UK today; and reporter Clare Worden finds out more about agro-forestry.
Presented by Sybil Ruscoe, produced by Lucy Taylor.
