Woodland Creation Project Management - Woodland Establishment Phase (post planting)

This event will focus how White Rose Forest (WRF) and the landowner (Leeds University) are navigating the woodland establishment period.

This period is post-planting and can take up to 15 years to ensure that the woodland is established as a functioning habitat and will need to consider arrange of issues including:

• Climate change (including significant events)
• Pests & diseases
• Tree health & vitality
• Funding issues
• Changes in priorities/objectives (15 years is a long time!)

We also want to highlight how WRF has established the resources to deliver a large scale programme – and unusually in forestry/land management has a team that is 50/50 male/female – and to consider the impacts on their work.
