Archival description

The initiative for holding the conference was taken by the Timber Growers' Organisation and held jointly with the RSA. It was prompted by growing consciousness of the increasingly urgent need to expand timber production in Britain to the fullest extent compatible with the due interests of other land usages, hence the necessity for a national forestry strategy. It was hoped that this meeting of all the many interests involved might point the way towards defining such a strategy.

The purpose of this seminar was to discuss the benefits of funding environmental interests and the important contribution that grant-making trusts can make in supporting research and development in environmental protection technologies, and in the increasing public awareness and understanding of this very important subject.
