Another LERN (Large-scale Ecosystem Recovery Network) field site in the bag 💼 @forestresearchuk.bsky.social

Next task is to put in the plots for interventions & controls. Most importantly these are co-developed & agreed with land managers 🌳🌳

Productive day out hunting for new experimental research sites for the LERN (Large-scale Ecosystem Recovery Network) @forestresearchuk.bsky.social

Contrary to the perceived dichotomy, most land managers value both 'tree planting' and 'natural processes' to increase tree cover 🌳🌳

Excited to see our recent paper on ‘Spillovers and legacies of land management on temperate woodland biodiversity’ on the front cover of @natecoevo.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One of our LERN (Large-scale Ecosystem Recovery Network) experiments 🌳- now visible from space 🛰️#EcologicalRestoration @forestresearchuk.bsky.social

Finally found some time to label 56 sample plots on our first LERN (Large-scale Ecosystem Recovery Network) research site #NatureRecovery @forestresearchuk.bsky.social @forestrycommission.bsky.social

Plenty of scope to 'learn by doing' given the unprecedented level of #NatureRecovery & #NatureBasedSoloution underway across the country & the opportunity to build in replicated/controlled experiments. We should talk more @petebrotherton.bsky.social @mikemorecroft.bsky.social

Interested in woodland creation & natural processes? Come along to our webinar 🌳🌳🌳🌳👇 @uktreescapes.bsky.social @forestresearchuk.bsky.social

We have new experiments underway & more in the pipeline (subject to funding)
