Join Senior Climate Scientist Gail Atkinson as she discusses a range of adaptation measures on the Climate Change Adaptation Trail at Alice Holt Forest on the Hampshire/Surrey border. The trail aims to inspire woodland managers to take action and start thinking about how to adapt management practices to better prepare for the changing climate. Find out more about the trail where you’ll also find links to download a self-guided trail guide and worksheet.
This video complements the Alice Holt Forest adaptation case study, which explains why demonstration areas were set up and how adaptation measures were identified and implemented as part of the Forest Design Plan for Alice Holt Forest (2016-2026).
Meet Estate Manager Ruth Wallis, who helps oversee a 3 ha bicentenary plantation in Sussex that was designed to be resilient to the changing climate in 200 years. Ruth explains the background to this innovative project and how they used a combination of local knowledge, expert advice and data from the Ecological Classification Tool (ESC) to select a total of seven tree species.
Forestry consultant Andrew Woods discusses the management of 80 ha family-owned Bell Coppice woodland in the Midlands with acute oak decline (AOD) and the measures that have been taken to adapt to climate change. Principal Pathologist Sandra Denman explains what AOD is, the impact on timber and ways to help control the disease, and Research Entomologist Daegan Inward discusses the impact of climate change on trees and AOD.
Our climate is changing, and in order to increase resilience to the impact of risks including frost, flooding and wildfire, changes are needed to established forestry practice.
This series of short animations provide concise overviews of key climate change topics that are covered in our more detailed climate change factsheets.
These videos provide guidance on how Scottish forests can increase resilience. They were funded by ClimateXChange, the Scottish Government’s centre of expertise on climate change.
