The motion

That this House congratulates the efforts and achievement of Long Wood Community Woodland near Lampeter in its conservation of a sustainable woodland, which uses timber felled onsite alongside an onsite sawmill where it is transformed into products in its woodland workshop; applauds the innovative ideas that also provide long-term skilled employment for local people, training opportunities and apprenticeships alongside producing high-quality products for local consumers, bringing income to the local area and ensuring a sustainable timber source for future generations; and notes that not only is local biodiversity increasing, local amenities and education opportunities in the area have also begun to benefit from this project.
