Survey for managers of mixed-species stands to contribute to research into drought resilience
Practitioners who have experience of planting, managing or overseeing a tree species mixture needed to take part in survey.
Decision support tools
Discover the range of online tools available to assist managers in assessing risks, selecting adaptation measures and measuring carbon.
Establishing new woodland
New woodlands have the potential to sequester carbon, provided that the right tree species are grown in the right locations.
Biosecurity
Carrying out biosecurity measures provides a barrier to the introduction and spread of tree pests and pathogens. Climate change can facilitate a pest or pathogen becoming established.
Where to Start
Risks
Identify the key risks to your site, then consider the potential adaptation measures that could reduce or minimise the risks or increase the benefits provided by your woodland.
Advice
If you’re new to woodland management or you have a specific management objective such as timber production, we can help signpost you to relevant information.
Resources
From bite-size factsheets and case studies to videos and decision support tools, our resources simplify complex topics and help support your decision-making.
