<p>Forestry is a devolved issue, so the answer relates to England only.</p><p>Many
English woods are grown for timber amongst other uses, including oak and cherry. 2.6
million tonnes of English wood was delivered to primary wood processors and others
in 2014. This is a 3% increase from the previous year. Active management of English
woodlands at September 2015 was reported to be at 58%, up from 53% in 2013.</p><p>This
is why this Government strongly supports the work of the Grown in Britain initiative.
Its work in support of the woodland economy has helped to grow a £2bn a year forestry
and wood processing industry, which employs over 40,000 people.</p>
