Creating Canopies II: Resilience, Adaptation and Regenerative Approaches

We need more trees in urban areas for health, well-being and environmental benefits.

However the simple act of planting or establishing a tree is not quite so simple as it first appears! What is the right tree for the right site? What are evidenced-based scientific, technical and social challenges and barriers to success?

Underpinning these activities is the need for knowledge of tree biology and ecology, irrespective whether trees are established in urban, rural or wild landscapes.

Both the planting and management of treescapes are being impacted by climate and land-use induced changes. Science and technology play a vital role in maintaining and establishing trees and woodlands and this conference is a friendly forum for early career and experienced researchers to present their research.

The meeting is held at the Crown and Mitre Hotel which is a short walk from Carlisle train station and could not be easier to reach by public transport.

The two-day meeting will include five plenary sessions, poster session, evening social as well as a visit to Coombs Wood Forest (a 30minute coach trip from Carlisle). We are grateful for support for the meeting from the Forestry Commission.
