New Forest

The New Forest National Park is widely recognised as one of the most important areas for wildlife in the UK. 

Tree Lab have several ongoing projects in the New Forest. We are fortunate to co-design research with organisations including the National Park Authority, Forestry England and the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust. 

Student projects

We set up the 'New Forest Living Labs', a partnership between the New Forest and conservation organisation working in the New Forest to coordinate student-led research projects that address policy-relevant questions. Please get in touch if you are interested in student projects! Website https://sites.google.com/view/newforestlivinglab.
