This guidance provides information to forest managers on both transforming stands to continuous cover forestry (CCF) and on managing stands using CCF approaches.

This study explores how scenario planning - a technique for imagining and preparing for different possible futures - can help forest managers make better decisions.

Summary In this paper the effects of climate and socio‑economic change on Scotland’s national forests are explored using 100‑year scenario modelling, comparing a baseline management approach with scenarios that prioritise either biodiversity, carbon or timber. Results show that while the baseline delivers balanced, modest gains across most ecosystem services, forcing...

Optimal soil conditions or ‘soil health’ is the foundation of forest health, including providing resilience in the face of environmental change. This research aims to improve interest in and uptake of science-based guidance and advice to maintain or improve forest soil health for forest resilience.

This Handbook provides guidance to those looking to create woodland or grassland on sites requiring intervention, including landowners, managers, planners and designers.

This project will develop a multi-criteria assessment framework to evaluate the benefits, constraints and risks of productive tree species, and collaborate with stakeholders to prioritise species for national deployment to drive diversification and increase resilience.

This project aims to improve the inter-annual monitoring of tree growth across England by developing the foundations for a cost-effective, robust and representative national network.

This project will use remote sensing to map structural diversity across English woodlands, complement locally derived woodland condition assessments, and test the impacts of forest management on structural diversity and carbon sequestration. We will also engage with private woodland owners through a Forest Lab project called ‘Living Layers’.

Our vision is to establish and strategise a national Research Forests Network to provide a strategic series of experiments and demonstration sites that will inform industry practice towards climate-smart forestry.

LERN aims to enhance understanding of nature recovery by establishing a national network of experimental woodland creation sites to provide robust evidence supporting policy and practice.

Underplanting extends the range of coniferous tree species that could potentially be used to diversify future commercial timber production in the United Kingdom

This Guide lets you find out more about the trees found in the forests and woodlands of Great Britain.
