Eleanor Harris reports on Confor’s response. ince before the Brexit vote, Confor has been engaged in discussion with the sector, politicians, and other stake- Sholders.

These can be found on our website along with our policy pa- pers A Common Countryside Policy and Plant Health and Brexit on our website. Confor is engaging in detailed discussions around the UK on what might replace the CAP after Brexit. In particular, we is- sued a detailed response to the UK Government’s major Health and Harmony consultation on the subject. Our focus has been to stress that the debate must be about all land uses, not just and forestry agriculture. This was reflected in our response, which was pre- pared after gathering feedback from members, and in a Twitter campaign using the hashtag #woodforpublicgood. a Land Use Bill The issue was also discussed at the most recent meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Forestry, attended by senior Defra officials Guy Horsington and Fiona Harrison. Confor’s consultation response, one of 44,000 received by Defra, has been shared with stakeholders from the forestry sector, politics and a wide range of farming and environmen- tal organisations. It is the latest and most detailed Confor con- tribution to the Brexit debate. We have produced analyses of 3 the implications of Brexit for the forestry and timber sector re- garding funding, trade, environmental regulations, labour, plant health and land. These can all be found on our website in the News section, under the Brexit heading. The consultation re- sponse is also in our Resources section, under both Publications and Consultations. Confor continues to engage with the widest possible range of stakeholders to ensure the forestry and wood voice is heard as the consultation responses are analysed and future policy takes shape.

  • Firewood Processors and Equipment Firewood Processors and Equipment
    FIREWOOD PROCESSORS AND EQUIPMENT FIREWOOD PROCESSORS AND EQUIPMENT We are proud to introduce a modern range of firewood processors. Since we started manufacturing our first firewood processors back in 2004 we have actively been improving and developing new models. We are thankful for feedback from our customers. We continuously introduce improvements in order to offer better product at any time. Originals ideas (a story full of innovations is our background). Since we in the early sixties started manufacturing safety frames for tractors we took unorthodox steps and made a more cost efficient and user friendly design than our competitors at that time. Even at that time we applied new technology and new materials. This means hydraulic shaped high tensile steel materials in order to meet approval specifications and tests. The leading principle for all our products is to offer improved features and have cost effective production. Active use of new material qualities. There is a continuos development in steel materials and qualities. New qualities (so called high tensile steels from 500) have a much higher resistance to damage like breakage and bends compared to traditional quality. Such materials are especially suitable for firewood processors being strength-tested all the time. We do all the time actively apply such materials in order to get the very best resistance to damages. This also our motivation for investing in new production technologies and machines which can handle such steel qualities. A very skilled manufacturer. We have long time experience with manufacture and deliveries of complex items and components to other industry. This means high requirements to finish, welding quality and surface treatment in addition to being competitive.

The Directory is designed to serve as a reference for producers seeking to Sandie Sparks, Vice Chairperson Ellijay market their wood products and for wood users in locating suppliers. Ember Bentley Macon The forest products industry remains a strong economic force in Georgia. Our latest study of Ben Gillis Dublin the industry shows an increase in economic output from 2017 to 2018. The total direct and Chad Nimmer indirect impact of the forest industry on Georgia’s economy in 2018 increased .9% to $36.3 Blackshear billion, with a total of 148,414 jobs. Forestry ranked first among all industries in the state in Robert Pollard Appling wages and salaries, with $4.0 billion paid. Ken Sheppard Vidalia Georgia’s commercial forest totals 24.5 million acres that are sustainably managed primarily by private landowners. This forest should continue to supply solid wood and fiber to a strong forest industry for decades into the future. The Commission’s staff is working to insure that Georgia firms invest in Georgia wood product manufacturing as globalization places increasingly competitive demands on the industry. Creating enhanced forest value by marketing Georgia’s products through this Primary Wood-Using Industries Directory is an important part of our mission.

  • Stage 1 Air Quality Review and Assessment
    FOREWORD The Government attaches great importance to the opportunities for partnership, which the management of local air quality brings. The Environment Act 1995 provides the statutory basis for consultation and liaison on the Stage 1 review and assessment and the Government expects local authorities to develop a closer relationship with other agencies, commerce and local community groups who may be able to contribute to the improvement of local air quality. For the purpose of reviewing and assessing air quality local authorities need to consult in accordance with Schedule 2 of the Act. It is proposed that consultation be carried out with: I. The Secretary of State II. The relevant Environment Agency III. The relevant highways authority IV. All neighbouring local authorities V. Any relevant National Park Authority VI. Other relevant public authorities as the local authority considers appropriate e.g. Parish Councils VII. Bodies representative of business interests Widespread consultation among the general public of the East Riding will be secured by depositing copies of this document at all Customer Service Centres, public libraries and in local secondary schools. All consultees or other interested parties wishing to comment on the review are asked to make their responses to the Director of Social Services, Housing and Public Protection, County Hall, Beverley HU17 9BA by 31 March 1999. 1 SUMMARY The Environment Act 1995 required the preparation of a National Air Quality Strategy which provides a framework for air quality control through local air quality management. Air quality standards and objectives have been enacted through the Air Quality Regulations 1997. Local Authorities are required to undertake a staged air quality review and assessment.

  • Firewood Processing Equipment
    TECH REVIEW - Firewood processing Equipment Bell’s Machining, Welding & Hydraulics Bell’s Firewood Processors are ruggedly built, easy to use, and productive processors. All firewood processors come with a one-year parts and labor warranty that can be performed by a capable local professional. Each machine is portable and easy to transport. With an aggressive tooth on the in-feed conveyor, almost nothing will stop a log from progressing to the saw. The live deck is raised substantially, meaning logs will enter the in-feed trough with ease, eliminating log pile-ups and the necessity of a cant hook. An adjustable hydraulic log stop gives perfect length to the wood every time. Hydraulically adjustable 4, 6, and 8-way splitting wedges are available to ensure uniform blocks every time. Conveyors come in standard 24 ft and 32 ft lengths. A 14 ft attached conveyor option makes transporting the proces- sor even easier. www.bellsmachining.com Blockbuster Inc.
