The price of woodland has risen out of proportion to its timber yield, and in 2022 reached £28,000 per hectare (£11,000 per acre). Woodland prices are affected by its very favourable tax treatment and its high amenity value. [6] [44] [45]
When in the EU, UK farmers received more than £3 billion a year via the Single Farm Payment. [95] This is roughly £28,300 per farm, although this includes around £3,000 of environmental subsidies, such as for planting woodland. [96]
Heartwood Forest is located near Sandridge, St Albans, in the Metropolitan Green Belt. When the Woodland Trust acquired the land in 2008, most of the area consisted of farmland, predominantly oilseed rape fields. [2] Only 18 hectares (44 acres) of the site's total 347 hectares (860 acres) consisted of ancient woodland. [3]
The strategy aims to increasing forest coverage to 21% of the total area of Scotland by 2032, with the target rate of afforestation rising from 10,000 hectares per year in 2018 to 15,000 hectares per year by 2024. Within this, the government is seeking to establish 3000–5000 hectares per year of new native woodland. [34]
The value of land being eroded by the sea or other natural processes declines rapidly. Land in the centre of large cities may be very valuable, for example £7.2 million per hectare was cited for central London in 2016, [1] compared with around £2500 per hectare for grouse moors in Scotland. [2]

[53] [54] Salcey Forest: Northamptonshire: 495 Salcey Forest has a 20 metre high "Tree Top Walkway". The forest is also made up of ancient woodland including 600-year-old oak trees. [55] [56] [57 ...

The woodlands of Bedfordshire cover 6.2% of the county. [2] Some two thirds of this (4,990 ha or 12,300 acres) is broad-leaved woodland, principally oak and ash. [3] A Woodland Trust estimate of all ancient woodland in Bedfordshire (dating back to at least the year 1600), including woods of 0.1 ha (0.25 acres) and upward suggests an area of 1,468 ha (3,630 acres).
