Establishing Climate-Smart Forestry and forest restoration pilots in Europe

Description

FORWARDS is a project funded by the European Union that will prototype the ForestWard Observatory, a pan-European monitoring and evaluation tool that will help in demonstrating the impact of climate change on forests, and guiding decision-making for practical forest management.

The aim of this Call for third party grants is to set up Climate-Smart Forestry (CSF) and forest restoration pilots across Europe as a basis for developing an evidence-based understanding of effective CSF and restoration management practices in supporting climate change mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity.

Supported projects and activities should establish new field trials in forests for CSF and restoration management practices or test new practices in existing field trials. Third party grants are managed by FORWARDS Partner European Forest Institute (EFI).
