The Climate Change Hub brings together information and practical guidance about protecting our UK woodlands and forests from the impacts and risks due to the changing climate through adaptive practice.
We aim to summarise the science and provide straightforward, practical support particularly for landowners, woodland managers and forestry practitioners. You’ll also find the latest news, research findings and literature about climate change adaptation, from Forest Research as well as other reputable sources.
Woodland and forest management practices have remained largely unchanged for decades, but risks from climate change are accelerating the need to build resilience for a sustainable future. To continue delivering important benefits such as timber production, recreation spaces, flood risk mitigation, wildlife habitats and carbon sequestration in the future, we need to proactively adapt how our woodland and forests are managed.
