United Kingdom: Can our trees be saved from big timber, rampant disease and global warming?

Independent: We have finally finished tidying up all the trees and branches thrown down by the furious winter winds in Court Wood. It's an 11-acre, mixed broad-leaf woodland near my home in the Black Mountains, south Wales. As part of a not-for-profit, community woodland group, I started managing the wood a few months ago. Before our small team of volunteers arrived with billhooks and chainsaws, Court Wood hadn't been touched for 60 years. Like thousands of similarly anonymous British woodlands, it had silently...

2014-02-25 08:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Mail: Flat-pack giant Ikea has had a forestry stewardship certificate suspended after it was revealed the furniture chain has been felling 600-year-old trees from protected woodlands. The Forest Stewardship Council, which promotes the responsible management of the world's woodlands, says the wood Ikea cuts from forests in Karelia, Russia, isn't being harvested sustainably. Swedwood, the Swedish firm's forestry subsidiary, has been refused certification by the international not for-profit organisation...
