Setting the agenda: practitioner knowledge needs in woodland restoration

Woodland restoration in Scotland—like in many parts of the world—is a complex challenge involving a wide range of actors. Through conversations with practitioners, we found that there can be gaps between the knowledge needed to support practical, on-the-ground work and the priorities set by current research agendas. In this event, we’ll share findings from a scoping survey, in-depth interviews, and a collaborative workshop. A panel of experienced practitioners and researchers will reflect on the issues raised and explore what future collaborations between research and practice could look like.
