Newly published research explains a robust and tested measure to identify the social and cultural values people have for trees and woodland in England.

The approach has been developed to support local authorities, charities and other organisations making decisions about how to manage trees.

Developed by Forest Research and colleagues at University of York and at FERA, the method uses a composite measure to capture the social and cultural values of trees and woodlands. The measure includes a breadth and diversity of values relating to health and wellbeing, spiritual, aesthetic, historical, learning and social connections with trees.
