Research Overview

Our work has investigated the opportunities for private woodland owners in England to develop resilient treescapes and regenerative land management practices to repair our degraded landscapes.

We are interested in the opportunities that a transition to varied treescapes would offer a sustainable construction industry through the supply of diverse, low embodied carbon construction materials. We seek to inform and educate the general public, architects and small woodland owners on the potential of alternative forestry systems to generate positive economic, social and environmental outcomes.

Our research began in July 2022 and concluded in January 2023, and Future Observatory provided our organisation with approximately £20K funding.
