Confor UK Policy Conference
5 December 2024
Confor's annual policy conference returns to the QEII Centre in London on Thursday 5 December 2024.
'Green Growth Through Forestry and Wood' examines the potential for wood to provide huge benefits for the UK’s economy and environment, and how we overcome barriers to deliver that potential.
Forestry Minister, Mary Creagh MP, has been invited to outline how the forestry and wood industry can work in partnership with the new Labour Government on its key priorities - including rural economic growth, sustainable housebuilding and timber security.
Speakers will explain why implementing the National Wood Strategy for England and Timber in Construction Roadmap is vital to deliver these priorities. There will also be a strong focus on the emerging sector skills plan.
