Just a reminder that "Walking among trees can reduce levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, while improving mood and lowering anxiety". AND they capture carbon! https://t.co/jZGaSQgZ8L #TreesForCarbon #TreesForHealth #WellnessWednesday @The_Ecologist @Forest_Research

NRS Forest Science Seminar: Native woodland restoration in southern Scotland: principles and practice

14:00
NRS, Northern Research Station, Bush Estate, Roslin, Scotland

Two decades ago, the newly created Borders Forest Trust launched Carrifran Wildwood, the first major woodland restoration scheme in the Southern Uplands. In 1997, at the start of the the planning phase, Adrian Newton and Philip Ashmole ran a landmark conference under the title of this seminar. Now is a good time to review the principles and practice, and to take a look at where we stand now.
