Adapting management practice helps reduce vulnerability to climate change risks. We showcase ten different measures to consider depending on identified risks and management objectives for particular sites.
In order to identify the most appropriate adaptation measures, forest and woodland managers should consider their management objectives alongside an assessment of climate change risks for their sites. Adaptation measures that will reduce the most immediate and greatest risks should be prioritised.
The future climate must be considered and integrated into design plans to increase resilience, not just for current woodland but for new woodland and areas of woodland expansion.
