Agroforestry, the integration of managed trees and agriculture, will help meet national tree planting commitments and provide social, environmental and economic benefits. This project will develop and test a monitoring and evaluation framework for agroforestry agri-environment schemes to measure scheme outcomes and improve future offers.

Catchment Lab aims to establish the UK's first catchment laboratories network to assess woodland creation's water impacts. It will provide critical data, refine models, foster partnerships, and expand a monitoring network to inform Defra’s water policies.

Project exploring the ecological function of Trees outside Woodland (ToW), using detailed mapping and biodiversity investigations.

Project exploring the movement of species between woodlands, and how to fast-track connectivity within fragmented landscapes.

Project measuring the soil carbon changes in the first 2 to 20 years of forest establishment of Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) sites.

Project exploring the ecosystem services provided by agroforestry in the UK, and the questions this raises for policy and regulation.

Trees, woods, and forests provide multiple benefits to society, including those of social and cultural value. This research outlines a scoping study which sought to identify and test methods for spatially mapping and surveying the recreation attitudes and behaviours of people living in an area around Cannock Chase National Landscape.

The LUNZ Hub is an innovative transdisciplinary research initiative helping to drive transformational land use change in the UK needed to achieve net zero by 2050.

Validating estimations of the benefits of woodland creation for the freshwater environment to support private investment in trees for the improvement of the freshwater environment. The private investment mechanism is referred to as a Woodland Water Code (WWC).

This ‘Tree Species Guide for UK Agroforestry Systems’ provides an overview of 33 species of trees and shrubs that could be planted in UK agroforestry systems.

Project exploring the social and cultural value of Trees Outside Woodlands (TOW) in peri-urban and rural areas.

There is a need for Green Finance mechanisms to increase private investment in UK woodland creation and tree planting. Forest Research is exploring existing evidence on this topic, identifying innovative mechanisms, existing case studies and research gaps.
