Smart Forests workshop: A cross-sectoral conversation

Abstract

The Smart Forests research group hosted a Knowledge Exchange Workshop at Cambridge Cottage, Kew Gardens, to discuss findings from the Community-led Forest Technologies interim report, and to foster dialogue among stakeholders in government, industry, community groups, and aligned fields. The full-day workshop was structured around three demo-dialogues—restoration, implementation, and community participation—each followed by collective discussion. This Smart Forests Atlas Story provides an overview of key discussion points, including the challenges and opportunities for cross-sector collaborations.
