Forestry and Timber Security APPG

First Registered: 02/01/2025 • Last updated on: 02/01/2025

The APPG promotes sustainably managed forests for jobs and economic growth, and a growing, secure timber resource for the UK wood processing sector. Our work supports rural economies, provides low-carbon timber for house-building and combats illegal logging overseas.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
