The Future of UK Treescapes is a £14.5 million programme funding research that aims to significantly improve our environmental, socio-economic and cultural understanding of current and possible future UK treescapes. The outputs from these projects will help inform critical decisions that will be made in coming years concerning the ‘what, where, how and who’ of treescape expansion. In addition, they will help us to safeguard our trees, woods and forests better.

We are delivering the Programme through a number of research projects funded under several calls:

• Call 1 (closed): A portfolio of large interdisciplinary research projects designed to address the three themes of the programme.
• Call 2 (closed): This call supports a series of smaller projects that will address gaps identified following Call 1 as well as a set of further research priorities.
• Call 3 (closed): Knowledge exchange projects as the programme enters its final two years.
• Fellowships Round 1 (closed): Academics and non-academics who will enhance broader interdisciplinary environmental and forest science capacity
• Fellowships Round 2 (closed): Academics and non-academics who will fill research gaps in areas such as productive forestry, tree health, and woodland expansion.
  
• Public Dialogue (closed): An opportunity to engage individuals, communities, and groups in shaping the future of UK treescapes.
