Our colleagues Graciela Martinez and Altea Lorenzo were proud to provide statistical analysis towards a report by Forest Research for DEFRA which explored local community benefits from creation of new woodlands and piloted a longitudinal approach to gather perceptions and attitudes. 

A storymap, a 20-min video which explains the key findings and associated slide pack, and the final report are available at https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/research/mapping-the-social-benefits-of-woodland-creation-and-expansion/
