Increasing woodland cover is a priority for all three nations of Great Britain with ambitious woodland creation and tree planting targets in each country.
However, researchers, practitioners and policymakers face challenges when it comes to accessing an overview of the available evidence, critical for identifying gaps in the literature for further study, implementing woodland creation strategies or designing evidence led policy.
This practical webinar will introduce you to a free online tool which maps the social science evidence relating to land managers and woodland creation.
The tool allows researchers, practitioners and policymakers to quickly understand the evidence landscape, identify specific references, and link to research papers.
In this webinar you will:
- Find out how to search by themes
- Pinpoint references and link through to papers
- Identify evidence gaps for further exploration
At the end of the session, you’ll have an opportunity to feed back on the dashboard and suggest opportunities for further development.
