If you are like us and are looking for some incredible woods to visit this year, here are the top ancient woodlands to add to your list.
At EcoChoice, we champion woodland conservation. By only ever sourcing timber from responsibly managed forests for our decking, cladding and other wood products, we give our customers an ecologically responsible option.
Under the umbrella of climate change is our forests - specifically how much of it we have left. We all know we need natural landscaped to survive, but how close would the Doomsday Clock get to midnight if all of our trees disappeared?
To understand more about the future of our planet, we need to also understand modern forest design and why focusing on sustainability in our wild world is so essential.
If you are a wanderlust traveler who loves to surround yourself with the beauty of nature, you will feel right at home in the world's most beautiful forests. Bursting with incredible life and providing a serene space in which to get in touch with the planet, it doesn’t get much better than a woodland hike!
Timber is everywhere. It is used in the foundations of homes, to create public piers and as decking in your own back garden. This is not a new trend either: humans have been using timber for thousands upon thousands of years!
We take a look at how trees, woodlands and forests can help to limit the damage of flooding in the UK.
For most of us, a walk in the woods brings a sense of wellbeing and peacefulness. There is good evidence to suggest that being outdoors amongst nature relieves stress, helps combating anxiety, and can even stabilise blood pressure.
The global production and trade of wood products, such as sawn wood, round wood and others have reached record highs since the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) began recording forest statistics in 1947.
Here at EcoChoice we have long known the importance of preserving the world’s precious forests. However, a huge amount of construction work for properties both private and commercial depends on wood sourced from these forests.
Through an underground network of fungi, trees in a forest are all connected by a web of these organisms that swap nutrients in order to keep the whole of the wood alive.
As a supporter of the FSC®, our FSC® certified products mean projects big and small are also doing their bit for the environment. But how does choosing FSC® certified timber protect the forest ecosystems around the world?
