The United Kingdom, being in the British Isles, is ideal for tree growth, thanks to its mild winters, plentiful rainfall, fertile soil and hill-sheltered topography. Growth rates for broadleaved (hardwood) trees exceed those of mainland Europe, while conifer (softwood) growth rates are three times those of Sweden and five times those of Finland. In the absence of people, much of Great Britain would be covered with mature oaks, except for Scotland. Although conditions for forestry are good, trees do face damage threats arising from fungi, parasites and pests. The development of afforestation and the production and supply of timber in Wales come under Natural Resources Wales, as set out in the Forestry Act 1967.

  • La forêt au Royaume-Uni occupe environ 12,9 % de la superficie du territoire. Le climat relativement doux et humide des îles britanniques est favorable à la pousse des arbres, cependant le Royaume-Uni est l'avant-dernier pays d'Europe pour le taux d'occupation par la forêt, juste devant la République d'Irlande.
