Having your own wood supply is useful. We have a few trees, but they would not keep us going for long. We just have a bio-ethanol burner in the lounge that provides some extra heat and the rest is mains gas.

It is nice, where I live its just a sea of trees.
I have never been to the UK, but when I played Forza Horizon which 4 which is based in the UK I was really surprised to just see a landscape of large fields with small separations of trees.
When I looked further into this I learned during WWII the UK went through large amounts of timber during the war. So much of the forests are gone there.
Amazing how the landscape can be affected by demand like that.
Our landscape is mostly artificial after centuries of farming and industry. Used to use lots of wood for ships and buildings. Forests were cleared for crops and livestock too. There are some new forests now, but a lot is commercial with little variety.
We looked at a wood stove when we built the house, but it was expensive and now there's concern about emissions.
