    The Ecological Function of Trees outside Woodland (ToW) in Relation to Treescapes and Woodland Creation

     Research project aiming to map and assess the ecological role of Trees outside Woodlands (ToW) in England. By studying ToW distribution, biodiversity value, and conservation needs, the project aims to protect and enhance ToW's contribution to biodiversity in fragmented landscapes.

    Fast-tracking Connectivity through Woodland Creation

     This project explores the movement/dispersal of different species (plants, invertebrates, small mammals and fungi) between woodlands. Specifically, the project aims to understand whether newly planted woodlands enhance habitat connectivity for woodland species within fragmented landscapes.

    Understanding the Public Value of Trees outside Woodlands: Peri-Urban and Rural (ToWPUR)

     This project will gather evidence to better understand the social and cultural value of an understudied part of English treescapes: Trees outside Woodlands in peri-urban and rural areas (ToWPUR). The research will feed into a variety of policy aims relating to the societal benefits and impact of tree-planting and management.

    Green Finance in the Context of UK’s Trees, Woods, and Forests

     There is a need for Green Finance mechanisms to increase private investment in UK woodland creation and tree planting. Forest Research is exploring existing evidence on this topic, identifying innovative mechanisms, existing case studies and research gaps.

    SUPERB – Upscaling Forest Restoration

     Forest Research, working with Forestry and Land Scotland, is leading a forest restoration Demo for the EU Horizon2020 “SUPERB” project. This demonstrates conversion to continuous cover forestry, establishment of high-elevation forests, and riparian woodlands with natural flood management measures, and will work with stakeholders to examine potential for upscaling.
