  THE UK is facing a future construction crisis because of a failure to plant trees to
  produce wood,a trade body has warned.Confor chiefs believe urgent action is needed
  to reduce the country's reliance on timber imports and provide a stable supply of wood
  for future generations.Currently only 20 percent of the UK's wood requirement is homegrown while it
  remains the second-largest net importer of timber in the world,bringing in around£7.5
  billion annually.Coming at a time of fresh incentives from the UK government for landowners to
  grow more trees,the trade body says these don’t go far enough and fail to promote
  the benefits of planting them to boost timber supplies
  "Not only are we facing a carbon crisis now,but we will also be facing a future
  construction crisis because of a failure to plant trees to produce wood,"said Stuart
  Goodall,chief executive of Confor."For decades we have not taken responsibility for
  investing in our domestic wood supply,leaving us exposed to fluctuating prices and
  fighting for future supplies of wood as global demand rises and our own supplies fall."The UK has ideal conditions for growing wood to build low-carbon homes and is a
  global leader in certifying that its forests are sustainably managed,Confor say.While
  around three quarters of Scottish homes are built from Scottish timber,the use of
  home-grown wood in England is only around 25 per cent.The causes of the UK's current position are complex and range from outdated
  perceptions of productive forestry to the decimation of trees from grey squirrels.It also
  encompasses significant hesitation on behalf of farmers and other landowners to
  invest in longer term planting projects.While productive tree planting can deliver real financial benefits to rural economies
  and contribute to the UK‘s net zero strategy the focus of government support
  continues to be on food production and the rewilding and planting of native woodland
  solely for biodiversity.The recently launched Woodland Creation Offer which pledges farmers and
  landowners£10000 for each hectare planted,failed to mention timber production,albeit the forestry Commission's Richard Stanford has since spoken of the importance
  of it.Stuart added:"While food production and biodiversity health are clearly of critical
  importance,we need our land to also provide secure supplies of wood for construction
  manufacturing and to contribute to net zero
  "While the UK government has stated its ambition for more tree planting,there has
  been little action on the ground.Confor is now calling for much greater impetus behind
  those aspirations to ensure we have enough wood to meet increasing demand."26.lt can be learned from Paragraph 1 that UK need to
