The spring 2020 issue of Wood Wise focuses on how trees can simultaneously tackle the climate and nature emergencies. Scientists at the forefront of applied research explain how many more trees we need to plant, why native trees are best, and how to make the most out of new woodland.
This knowledge is vital to inform decisions about how and where we expand tree cover to address the pressing need to take action against climate change and biodiversity declines.
