The Forest Risk network began in August 2011 with funding provided by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and is hosted by the University of Edinburgh. The network aims to provide a means of knowledge exchange between the NERC-funded and UK research community investigating natural disturbance risks to forests, and potential end-users of that information in the forest sector. This includes insurers, investors, carbon standards, public and private sector forest managers and those working in policy and advisory roles.
