Woodknowledge Wales inspires innovation through collaboration

A thriving forest based economy is an essential cornerstone of a sustainable society. The forestry sector provides a valuable low carbon resource for industry and rewarding employment for many thousands of people.

We are a not-for-profit, for public good organisation championing the collaborative development of forest-based industries for increased prosperity and wellbeing in Wales.

We believe in the creation and sharing of knowledge based upon evidence and science, and are transparent and collaborative in our approach.

Our Vision & Values

Our vision is the transformation of Wales into a high-value forest nation.

We believe in the creation and sharing of knowledge based upon evidence and science.

We believe that the businesses within the forestry and timber ‘ecosystem’ can be better aligned and more purposefully driven to deliver greater social value.

Our Values Our Mission

What we do

Our focus currently is on housing and construction as two related areas with big impacts on planet and people. Both areas have a massive potential to support Wales’ transition to a socially just low-carbon society.

We work across three areas:
* Knowledge, creation and exchange e.g. research, technical support, communities of practice, events and communication

* Advocacy e.g. national and local policy development, government consultations and participation in working groups

* Strategic interventions e.g. collaborative innovation projects, feasibility studies, application of research findings in exemplar housing and manufacturing projects
