Galvanising research and teaching to deliver leadership and impact in sustainable forests and landscapes.

Healthy forests and landscapes underpin the well-being of our society physically, financially, and culturally. We accelerate interdisciplinary research, partnerships, teaching, and innovation in sustainable forests and landscapes by building on our breadth of academic expertise and expanding capability where we can.

CSFL is home to the Edinburgh Forests and Landscapes Network (EFLN) and the Edinburgh Environment and Development Network (EEDN). Both networks hold regular events throughout the year.
