Taking place from 11th – 13th June 2024 at Glasgow University Union and Online, the final conference will celebrate the achievements and outputs of the UK Treescapes Programme.
The overarching objective of the Future of UK Treescapes programme is to significantly improve the environmental, socio-economic and cultural understanding of the functions and services provided by UK treescapes, in order to inform decision-making on the expansion of future treescapes for the benefits of the environment and society.
The final conference ‘Future Treescapes 24‘ will bring together researchers, stakeholders, policymakers and woodland enthusiasts to reveal what the latest research can contribute to our trees, woodlands and forests.
For those attending the conference, whether in person or online, it will be an opportunity to collaborate with Treescapes’ researchers to open up current knowledge and help translate it into practice. At the conference, attendees will be able to explore the tools and methodologies coming out of the programme, shape the potential future of our treescapes and debate the future needs of research and policy in this space.
