Showing the way forward for forestry in Europe – Wales states its case

A blueprint for the future of forestry across Europe has been presented to the European Commission DG Agriculture and Rural Affairs by an international delegation from Wales. Robinwood, the Forestry Commission Wales European project which aims to give rural Europe a new future, played a key role in drawing up recommendations for the sector in its final five-nation report.

Robinwood is co-financed by the European Commission - Interreg III C South Program. The project has as its objective the socio-economic development of country areas through the revitalization of the wood supply chain.
