Britain's massive postwar timber drive reshapes forests
Britain's Forestry Commission backs a £30 million program to plant 380 000 acres over five years and rebuild war damaged woodlands. By 1950 England aims to grow at least one third of its annual timber needs domestically, with private estates and nurseries expanding to supply seedlings and manage reforestation across regions like Thetford Chase and Northumberland. The plan emphasizes conifers, native species, and long term forest resource growth for industry and energy.
