The Forestry Commission has published the findings of research which explores the social and community benefits that can potentially be realised through the accessible provision of green space, including woods and trees. There are two aspects to this research, a review and an inventory. Place-making and communities: a review of concepts, indicators, policy and practice explores the UK government (including forestry-related) usage and definitions of terms or concepts related to the social and community benefits that can potentially be realised through accessible provision of green space, including woods and trees. It also also explores current indicators that are used to measure achievement of these concepts, and highlights potential gaps in terms of appropriate indicators and future research requirements. The inventory of social evidence and practical programmes relating to trees, woods, forests and urban/peri-urban regeneration, place-making and place-shaping identifies key evidence themes and evidence gaps and also identifies urban regeneration, place-shaping and making programmes in Great Britain in which trees have played the fundamental role.
