The Forestry Commission publish timber prices indices based on sales of sawlogs and standing timber from the public forest estate. No assessment of trends in the price of waste wood is made.

The Forestry Commission Timber Price Indices are available online: https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/tools-and-resources/statistics/statistics-by-topic/timber-statistics/timber-price-indices/
