Questions about uk laws related to bushcraft.

Hello. I am thinking about going on a wild camping trip sometime in the following months and using a tarp shelter while I am (and having a campfire) and are wondering if there are any laws on cutting down trees and if I have to apply for a wood gathering licence

Cutting down a tree on private or public land is illegal and entirely unnecessary for a wild camping trip. There should be plenty of dead wood to make a fire. If not, take some with you.
