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.
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.
This paper summarises the results of Forest Research’s citizen science canopy cover webmap.
Tree canopy cover was measured by contributors to the project in 5,749 urban wards in the UK using a random sample, manual image classification tool called i-Tree Canopy.
The area-weighted mean canopy cover across urban areas in the UK was found to be […]
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.
Research project to gather evidence to better understand, enable and support public access to woodlands in England. There are currently evidence gaps in meeting the aims of the England Tree Action Plan and the forthcoming Woodland Access Implementation Plan. This research will contribute directly to the delivery and implementation of the plans.
Forest Research worked with Treeconomics and Monmouthshire County Council to deliver an i-Tree Eco project in Chepstow and Severnside.
This project has been delivered for the Gwent Green Grid partnership, with funding from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
The study area covers the urban areas of Chepstow and Severnside in...
