  Timber and YOU
   

You care about the environment and want to be a responsible consumer but when it comes to wood it all seems so complicated. Just what sort of timber should you be buying - is it OK to buy tropical hardwoods or should we stick to softwoods ? Should we be cutting down trees at all ?

While we can't give you all the answers Timber! attempts to give you some pointers to making a decision easier. Perhaps the easiest answer of all is yes it is OK to cut down trees as long we ensure they are replaced and managed well to ensure that current and future generations can enjoy their benefits. This site will give you some clues as to buying timber from these sources. If you want to find out where to buy wood from East Sussex then go straight to Weald WoodNet.
