Climate change and resilient woodlands
Practical advice and guidance on climate change for local authorities, farmers and woodland owners and managers.
Trees, woodlands and forests play an important role in greenhouse gas removal, but trees can only help reduce the negative impacts of a changing climate if they are resilient to those challenges themselves.
For more information on protecting our woodlands and forests from the impacts of climate change, visit Forest Research’s Climate Change Hub.
