Catchment Lab aims to establish the UK's first catchment laboratories network to assess woodland creation's water impacts. It will provide critical data, refine models, foster partnerships, and expand a monitoring network to inform Defra’s water policies.
This Practice Guide provides advice to forest managers, practitioners, planners and supervisors, on how forest operations should be planned and managed to protect the water environment.
This report outlines a study undertaken to estimate the potential flood storage provided by beaver dams during flood events, comparing this with existing man-made timber bunds to determine whether the beaver dams offer comparable storage volumes such that the eventual loss/failure of the timber bunds does not pose an increased...
Validating estimations of the benefits of woodland creation for the freshwater environment to support private investment in trees for the improvement of the freshwater environment. The private investment mechanism is referred to as a Woodland Water Code (WWC).

The ability of trees, woodlands and forests to reduce downstream flooding is increasingly recognised and valued by society, driving a demand for assessments of this important ecosystem service. This study updates a previous evaluation (Broadmeadow et al., 2018) with improved estimates for the volume of flood water potentially removed by...

A study of chemical runoff following the use of acetamiprid as a pre-treatment and top-up spray to prevent damage from the large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis L.) to young trees was undertaken at a restock site in mid-Wales. The site was specifically selected to pose a high risk of chemical...
