The event is co-organised by EUCan. The aim of the Forum Synergies project is to increase the capacity and ability of individuals, NGOs, local and EU governments to deliver forestry management that is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. The first workshop in the UK will set the scene by examining what is meant by sustainable forestry. It will raise awareness for the wider benefits of sustainable forestry management and the services it provides apart from timber production, like e.g., climate change mitigation, flood control, biodiversity aspects, landscape values, forests as recreational space for people as one of the social functions forests provide.
