How provision of urban greenspace can cause neighbourhood renewal in deprived areas, and improve issues of aesthetics, environmental quality and community cohesion
Information about the pest larvae (caterpillars) of oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processionea), including its biology, distribution, management and control.
Our Knowledge Exchange and Impact Strategy is based upon 15 principles, organised into three themes. Together these principles guide the approach we take with our partners to maximise the relevance and impact of our research through dialogue and collaboration with policymakers, practitioners, and other key stakeholders. The principles are stated below.
Theme 1. Stakeholder engagement
To interact […]
Research investigating barriers and solutions for translating forest and land manager knowledge into action to prevent and mitigate tree pest and disease impacts and build resilience into our treescapes.
There is a growing requirement across government, non-governmental organisations and the private sector for better evidence concerning the ecological condition of British woodlands. British woodlands are dynamic entities and their ecological condition changes in response to factors such as changing woodland management, general land use practices and climate change. Evidence of the current state of […]
Service overview
By analysis of DNA extracted from samples, Forest Research can identify the presence of cryptic or reclusive species. For example, this has been useful to conservationists in identifying bat species from droppings collected in roosts (including the common and soprano pipistrelle species), differentiating between red and black grouse droppings, and distinguishing between fox, pine […]
Background
Forests are recognised to reduce flood flows, although the issue is complex and continues to be explored. While the processes of how trees affect the generation and conveyance of flood waters are understood, there remains a lack of monitoring data to quantify effects at the catchment scale (click here to visit the WWNP evidence base webpage).
