Overview

The Benefits theme examines the broader advantages of woodlands, from public access to economic impacts. Our projects focus on how woodlands can provide additional value to communities and the environment.

Key projects

• Public Access: Research is exploring how to improve and support public access to woodlands.
• Economics of Woodland Creation: We are studying the financial aspects of creating new woodlands and their economic benefits.
• Woodland Water Code: Developing a code to promote woodland expansion that benefits hydrology and water management.

Why it matters

Woodlands offer a range of benefits beyond their ecological value, including economic opportunities and improved quality of life. Understanding these benefits helps us maximise the positive impact of our woodlands.
