Through our Forestry Horizons independent think-tank we aim to support sustainable forest management by undertaking strategic and applied research.

Forestry Horizons has become very active as our independent perspective becomes valued. Commissioned research reports have been produced for public and private bodies, in the UK and beyond. Papers and articles have been published in the forestry press and presentations given to various stakeholders in the UK and beyond.  Forestry Horizons is linked with the Global Forest Information Service.

Some of our recent work:

• Forest management and silvicultural reponses to project climate change (a peer-reviewed publication)
• Growing valuable broadleaved species (EU COST Action E42)
• Top ten questions for forestry (T10Q)
• Forests and energy (ICF Conference Proceedings)

The aims of TreeWatch are to:

1. Create and maintain a registry of tree health.
2. Contribute to a scientific understanding of the impacts of environmental stress on tree health.
3. Develop a national volunteer network that could function as an early warning system in the face of new threats.
4. Promote public engagement with environmental science in general, and specifically with the health and vitality of our tree resource.
