If the Woodland Trust saves trees, why is it working with IKEA who uses timber in its products?
Wood is a natural, renewable, long-lasting material. The Woodland Trust supports the use of wood sourced from sustainable forests. That means forests managed to benefit the local economy, community and wildlife, where at least one tree is replanted for every one that’s extracted. At IKEA, we don’t accept timber from intact natural forests or forests with a high conservation value. Our aim is to source all our wood from well-managed forests verified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
