Report of the 2025 British Woodlands Survey published today exploring awareness, action and aspirations among Britain's forestry community relating to #environmentalchange @gabrielhemery.com @greenwoodtree14.bsky.social @forestresearchuk.bsky.social Read more and download: sylva.org.uk/bws

The British Woodlands Survey 2025 (BWS2025) was commissioned by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) to support policy development, exploring awareness, action and aspirations in the forestry community in responding to environmental change. The 2025 survey has provided the third instance in a valuable time-series of similar surveys spanning ten years exploring environmental change across Great Britain. While this report reports on Britain-wide results, a separate supplement provides some specific and more detailed findings for England.

The British Woodlands Survey 2025 (BWS2025) is now live - important for all woodland owners, agents, forestry professionals, businesses, land-owning organisations - take part: sylva.org.uk/bws2025 @forestresearchuk.bsky.social #woodlands #trees #resilience #environmentalchange #research

In this latest edition of the respected British Woodlands Survey, researchers want to hear from woodland owners and managers about their experiences, and of their hopes and fears for the future. Environmental change is already altering the ecology of our woodlands, affecting timber prices and productivity, impacting financial sustainability and more. Do you think some of these impacts may be positive as well as negative? Do you think you need better financial support or advice? What are biggest barriers you face in managing your woodland? Would you like to be better connected with others, could information technology support you better? This is your chance to have a say!

The British Woodlands Survey 2025 (BWS2025) is now live and remains open until end August. Taking part is important for all woodland owners, forestry and land agents, forestry professionals, businesses, land-owning organisations, and others.

The wild service tree is the rarer woodland relative of rowan and whitebeam, appearing to germinate only in areas of ancient woodland, for which it is an indicator. It is found on chalk and limestone, but also on nutrient-rich clays. 🌳

The flowers of Blackthorn, AKA Sloe, appear early spring, before the leaves, turning hedgerows into clouds of blossom. Brilliant for wildlife, it provides an early source of pollen for bees & insects, is a food plant for Brown Hairstreak Butterflies & its thorns provide protection for nesting birds
