Wood-fired heating plants for drying sawn timber Practical Guide, 2002 - 108 pages, 16x24 cm, reference CTBA : L 209 The kiln drying of sawn timber has become an essential part of the marketing of sawn timber. This new publication from CTBA sets out to prove that the cost of a useful thermal kWh from the burning of sawmill wood residues is competitive in many cases. Sawmill owners will find all the information they need in this guide to carry out a drying project linked to a wood heating plant in the best possible conditions of profitability.

Forestry Statistics in Great Britain In Great Britain, the “Forestry Commission” has just published the 2002 forestry statistics, an annual publication giving all the figures concerning forestry, sylviculture and wood conversion in the United Kingdom. Thus, we read that: -The total forested area in Great Britain amounts to 2.8 million hectares -Since 1996, about 100,000 hectares of new forest have been planted -The number of trees in Great Britain is estimated to be 3,814 million. Half of these are in Scotland, one third in England and the rest in Wales. www.forestry.gov.uk/statistics Source: www.boisforet.info/bfi/pge_brev_aff.as article n° 1717- 19 December 2002

www.regione.umbria.it/summacop Summacop is an exhibition project promoted by the Agriculture and Forest Assessorship for the Region of Umbria and developed within the framework of actions supported by Lifeambiente on a European level. Summacop’s aim is to adapt the criteria of coppice management considering current knowledge on the working of forest ecosystems and the new benefits required by society (in particular with regard to sustainability, multipurpose nature and diversification), while also taking the technical and economic feasibility of the interventions into account. For those interested in coppice management there are many files.

www.vhe.ch Wood Energy Switzerland is an association based in Zurich with two regional offices in Lausanne and Avegno. At present it has around 600 members (communes, companies in the forestry sector or wood manufacturing, planners, engineers, individuals, anyone interested). Wood Energy Switzerland’s bodies are defined in statutes and include the member’s assembly, the committee (made up of representatives from associations in the sector, forestry economy and wood, federal bodies, wood plant constructors and research centres), the secretary and the control body. Wood Energy Switzerland promotes the reasonable and sustainable use of wood energy, Switzerland’s second most important renewable local energy source, given it is a form of energy which is modern, intelligent, respects the environment and is energetically efficient. The site is in three languages (Italian, French and German) and includes many interesting documents, although few in Italian.
