The European Cultural Forest Network

As announced  and launched at the 2006 International Conference on Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Forest Management: the Role of Traditional Knowledge in Florence, we are establishing an informal network for partners and colleagues with a shared interest in, and enthusiasm for, the study of 'cultural' aspects of ancient woods, forests and treed landscapes.

This will be a vehicle to disseminate information and to help facilitate networking between key individuals and groups. It will link to the IUFRO Working Groups,  which are chaired by Dr Ian Rotherham, and to our programme of events, activities and publications. This will complement other established bodies and networks and will not duplicate anything already in operation. This is not a subscriber organisation but merely an informal vehicle for networking and sharing.

We are placing all our research materials and papers, etc, on our website to download free of charge, and we are happy to include links to your research websites, or to receive copies of your materials for inclusion here. If you are organising an event or a specific publication then please feel free to send us a pdf or web link.

We are also using the World of Trees magazine as an informal way to promote these interests and so welcome articles aimed at either professionals or a wider popular audience.

If you wish to send us your research weblinks, etc, please contact us via this website in the first instance and we will send further instructions.
