    Regeneration Guidance for Tree Planting on Vacant and Derelict Land

    There are potentially many Vacant and Derelict Land (VDL) sites which could be used for the establishment of vegetation, such as trees and woodland. Such sites are often challenging and historically there has been mixed success in delivering vegetation establishment schemes. A clear delivery pathway for VDL sites, supported by contemporary technical guidance, is needed to ensure that schemes are successful, and the benefits are fully realised.

    Adapting Vacant and Derelict Land for Tree Planting for Climate Change

    Vacant and Derelict Land (VDL) woodland will contribute beneficial ecosystem services to UK communities. To realise these benefits, such woodlands must be resilient to current and future climate change risks. This requires understanding these risks and the adaptation and mitigation approaches that can minimise them.

    Understanding the Social & Cultural Value of Trees outside Woodlands: Peri-Urban and Rural (ToWPUR)

    This project will gather evidence to better understand the social and cultural value of an understudied part of English treescapes: Trees outside Woodlands in peri-urban and rural areas (ToWPUR). The research will feed into a variety of policy aims relating to the societal benefits and impact of tree-planting and management.
