Forests are vital for nature recovery, climate mitigation, and sustainable resource production. Maintaining healthy forests for the future requires a skilled workforce, however relevant academic training provision is currently limited.
Hence, Bangor University and the Centre for Forest Protection, a Defra-funded collaboration, led by Forest Research and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, are working together to tackle the UK and global forest health crises through a specialised academic offering: the ENS-4311 Forest Protection Module.
This postgraduate level module is designed to equip the current and next generation of forestry specialists with the knowledge and skills necessary to combat escalating threats to UK and global forest ecosystems. It is a critical addition to the postgraduate curriculum, targeting students enrolled in MSc Forestry, Tropical Forestry, and Environmental Forestry programmes.
The module content focuses on the crucial discipline of forest protection, which is essential given the mounting challenges posed by climate change, pests, diseases, and invasive species facing forests across the UK and further afield.
