The forest statistics we have traditionally used have been produced and released by Forest Research and authenticated by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). However, it has been felt for some time that the official data did not cover everythingthe industry needed.Confer formed the Forestry Statistics Working Group to look at these gaps in knowledge and pull together a singular, accessible resource for the sector.The intention behind much of the work is to build upon existing public data and dig deeper into what is missing, while managing constraints such as confidentiality. Data may be provided on a commercially confidential basis and the privacy of private woodland owner information needs to be respected.
