A “dismal” lack of tree planting in Wales is failing the country’s economic and environmental future, forestry experts have said.

Figures show 640 hectares of new woodland was created last year – just over 12% of the Welsh government’s target of 5,000 hectares annually.

The Confederation of Forest Industries (Confor) said that "Wales is going backwards" and its reliance on imported timber made it “very vulnerable".

It said the rapid planting of new forests was “absolutely crucial” for the country’s environmental targets.
