Healthy forests, thriving nature, stronger local economies

Grown in Britain helps secure the long-term success of the UK’s woods and forests by enhancing nature, championing homegrown timber, and supporting local economies.

We believe our forests can both support thriving nature and produce the timber we need for a low-carbon future.

Striking that balance is at the heart of everything we do. Working across forestry, timber and policy, we support certified supply chains and help UK timber take its rightful place in a greener economy.

What does Certified mean?

When a product like these bus shelters carries the Grown in Britain logo, you know the timber was grown legally and sustainably in UK woods and forests, and can be traced from the forest to the finished product.

We do the checking, so you don't have to.

Our certification holds Category A status under the UK Government's Timber Procurement Policy.
