Pro Silva Britain Webinar: Guidance on transformation to and management of CCF

Guidance on transformation to and management of CCF

With Andrew Leslie

Andrew Leslie is a forestry educator and researcher with more than thirty five years’ experience across a range of jobs and countries. He has managed silvicultural research in the UK and in Somalia, Lesotho, Vanuatu and Guyana covering natural forest through to plantations and temperate to tropical and across a range of different cultural environments. Currently Andrew is part of a team at Forest Research conducting silvicultural and wood properties research, with specific responsibility for CCF, short rotation forestry and species mixtures. For twenty four years he led the development and management of undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses in forestry, delivered through part-time, distance-learning and full-time teaching at the National School of Forestry.

Following the publication earlier in 2026 of the new Forest Research hand book: Transforming and managing stands under continuous cover forestry: Silvicultural guidance, Andrew will speak about the following topics. Andrew is particularly keen to engage in a Q and A session and hear how Pro Silva Britain members use guidance. 

• Why focus resources on CCF guidance?
• Historic guidance on CCF
• What has been lost
• Recent updates on CCF guidance
• The future
