Anthony joined Forest Research in 2023 to deliver the DEFRA Nature For Climate-funded Climate-Ready Greenspaces project, aimed at updating existing guidance on climate change adaptation measures for tree planting and management on vacant and derelict land.

This project will:

  • Identify priority topics relating to climate-change risks to woodlands on vacant and derelict land, through practitioner engagement workshops
  • Collate and update existing management guidance based on these priority topics and include consideration for adaptation measures for a future climate
  • Facilitate knowledge exchange and roadmap relevant resources to support practitioners planning to plant or manage climate-resilient woodlands on vacant and derelict land

Anthony has previous experience working in information synthesis and public education development in a natural history museum setting, koala ecology and genetic research, as well as delivering large-scale ecological and environmental surveys for infrastructure development projects.

Anthony holds an MSc degree from the University of Exeter in conservation and biodiversity, and a PhD in koala ecology and genetics from the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Adapting Vacant and Derelict Land for Tree Planting for Climate Change

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.
