[QUOTE="brigadoon, post: 6674308, member: 49880"] Timber prices pretty good over the last couple of years - biomass demand has put a good floor in the market although log price presently down because of disease and windblow generated felling in Europe, but still a very good margin over harvesting costs. You are, of course correct that a sudden and massive spike in planting would result in a potential oversupply 25-50 years from planting but the probability is that encouragement will be focused on hardwoods which in all likelyhood will end up as scrub with no timber value. Thing there is to think long term. Only country in the UK meeting present planting targets is Scotland with a much more attractive grant scheme that England or Wales, without being familiar with the detail or having time to look it up at present the key to the thing is that BPS continues (in Scotland). As far as trust goes any planting schemes are administered under contract so any variation during the contract term would be subject to legal oversight [/QUOTE]
