Mission and objectives

Mission

To increase benefits from forestry research in Britain by facilitating collaboration among funders, by avoiding duplication and by disseminating information on forestry and tree-related research.

1. To facilitate exchange of information concerning forward plans, budgets and other relevant programme material among research sponsors.
   
2. To identify gaps or overlaps and encourage the co-ordination of research programmes in forestry.
   
3. To publish a summary of forestry and tree-related research by programmes/projects.
   
4. From time to time to provide a forum for encouraging the wider debate of particular issues in forestry research.
