Exciting news! We've opened a new path at the woodland we planted in 2023 🎉
As the trees grow, we're studying the way that woodland ecosystems, biochemisty, soils, acoustic environments etc. develop. Plus, more established trees means more resilience to disturbance, so more public access! 🌳💚
Our research woodland has just opened a new public pathway! We're excited to open this first new path along the edge of our growing woodland, as well as adding a new sign to help visitors understand some of the research we're doing at #GairWood 🧪🌍🌳
A new public footpath has opened at Gair Wood in North Leeds, connecting with two popular routes, helping visitors avoid walking alongside busy roads 🌳👣
More than 60k trees were planted there three years ago to enhance the local environment and provide a valuable resource for research and teaching.
🌳Free Webinar Alert!🌳 We're excited to join the Improving Access To Trees webinar next week (April 22nd) from White Rose Forest x Green Streets, where @ellesmith.bsky.social, will present recent findings and upcoming research. 🧪🌍🌐 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/white-rose...

(1/4) Our new study in @aer-ese-bes.bsky.social shows that well designed upland #woodlandcreation can avoid high #soilcarbon soils, a key aim of the #WoodlandTrust woodland creation guide principles and UKFS guidance. dx.doi.org/10.1002/2688...
