Your last chance to take part in the 2017 national woodlands survey
We’ve been delighted with the response over the summer months to the 2017 British Woodlands Survey. It’s not too late to have your say . . . survey closes 1st October.
Your chance to take part in important national survey
To date more than 1,100 woodland owners, agents, foresters, and businesses have taken part in British Woodlands Survey 2017. The responses represent the views of those caring for more than 100,000 ha of woodland across Britain. Open until end September we are hopeful that even more people with an interest in the future of forestry will take part before the survey closes.
Help shape the future of forestry
Devolution, pests & pathogens, Brexit, emerging markets, climate change, societal attitudes . . . these are just some of the momentous factors influencing our trees and woodlands, those who care for them, and those who rely on their products and services. Have your say about what these and other issues mean to you by taking part in Britain’s only dedicated national survey about our woodlands and forestry: the British Woodlands Survey 2017.
You can help shape the future of forestry
Since launching the British Woodlands Survey 2017 (BWS2017) two weeks ago we’ve received an encouraging uptake, with 500 respondents completing the survey to date. Thank you to all those who have taken part so far, and to our many partners in helping promote the survey to their members. The survey remains open over the summer, until end September.
Phase 2 completed of British Woodlands Survey 2017
Following a successful stakeholder workshop yesterday in Edinburgh, we have completed Phase 2 of the British Woodlands Survey. The top GB-wide theme was Societal Attitudes, followed by Climate Change Adaptation and Pests & Diseases. It is interesting to note how much contrast there was between some countries for certain themes; for example the low importance attributed to Tree Planting in Wales, and Managing for Carbon in England. These results will help us in concentrating questions in the survey to fit with themes or priorities considered most important across GB and its countries.
Helping shape the future of forestry
This week we held our second of four workshops across Britain with stakeholders, helping set the main themes for the next British Woodlands Survey to launch in the summer.
Help shape the future of forestry
We are holding a series of workshops around Britain to help share the 2017 British Woodlands Survey 2017 (BWS2017). If you are a woodland owner, forest manager, forestry business owner and you interested in helping shape the future of forestry, please read on.
Help shape the next national woodlands survey
The team behind the next major survey about our woodlands — launching in June 2017 — wants to hear from anyone with an interest in shaping the future of forestry in the UK. This is an opportunity for you to shape the fourth in a series of important national surveys, which will contribute to the development of forestry policy and practice in the UK.
