Forestry Commission Scotland might like to think about expanding into some native woodland 'restoration for wildlife' projects for volunteer tree-planters. I have been searching all winter for such a project and they don't seem to be very widely available, certainly not in my locality.
That's a really good point. It would be a great idea to either give/sell large enough sections of wood direct from council recycling centres, or to chip the unsalvageable rubbish for other uses. But ask someone at one of my local (Scottish) recycling centres if you could take away so much as an old brick and they instantly go into a fit claiming they'd get sacked, everything is being recorded on camera, more than their job's worth, etc, etc. Meanwhile... down in Norfolk, this is exactly what you 'can' do. See something you like, ask for it, and they say - Fine, take it. In fact, there's one place where the attendant restores unwanted children's bicycles and garden tools for anyone interested. I'm always looking for pieces of wood to make or finish small projects, and the last thing I want to do is go to a store and buy an 8ft plank that won't fit in my car.
They do plant native hardwoods and have done so increasingly over the years. But the UK timber market isn't fond of much other than fast-growing softwoods. Also, most of these plantations are Sitka spruce dominated not Scots pine. Though the problem of soil acidity persists as with any conifers.
Substituting wood for fossil fuels does not reduce emissions of CO2. Growing trees captures carbon, burning them releases carbon, we reduce carbon by NOT burning carbon rich fuel.

WHAT ABOUT NATURAL FORESTS ALSO SO WILD LIFE CAN SURVIVE INTO THE FUTURE
exactly there just thinking about the lumber, pure scum they just want money
Is there any effort to engourage woods waste from home building and remodeling recycling instead of dumping in a landfill? ?

Natural forests with diversity, Scots pine as its place,too many make the soil acidic, it needs old native hardwood trees planted as well
