A new era for Environmental Values
Agroforestry in the UK: Exploring consumer knowledge and interest
Purpose This paper's purpose is to explore the current interest and knowledge that UK consumers hold around agroforestry. Despite the many reported benefits of agroforestry systems, uptake in the UK, as well as other temperate nations, has been low. As the consumer has a role to play in the transition of agriculture to methods that are more environmentally friendly it is vital to have an understanding of their perceptions. Yet to date no work has…

You don't have to perform for the trees”: The longer-term effects of nature-based interventions on wellbeing
The health and wellbeing benefits of engagement with the natural environment are well documented, but a lack of prospective research means that the sustainability of effects is unknown. Nature-based interventions (NBIs) seek to extend benefits to a wide, socially inclusive range of people. The primary aim of this study was to develop an improved understanding of one such initiative on personal wellbeing over time. The study involved adults recrui…
Social Return on Investment of Nature-Based Activities for Adults with Mental Wellbeing Challenges
Increased time spent in nature can enhance physical health and mental wellbeing. The UK Government's '25 Year Environment Plan' recommends extending the health benefits of contact with nature to a wider group of people, including those with mental health challenges. This study investigated whether nature-based interventions (NBIs) for people with mild mental health challenges could generate a positive social return on investment (SROI). Between M…
How to recognise a healthy forest: Perspectives from private forest managers in Britain
The managers of private forests have critical roles in responding to forest health challenges. Basic knowledge of how they interpret and understand the health of their trees is, however, very sparse. Via an online survey of private forest managers in Britain, we reveal the basic characteristics of this group's understandings of tree and forest health both in general and, more specifically, in relation to the health (and ill health) of oak species…
Learning to Live with and without Animals
Editorial to Environmental Values Volume 31, Issue 2
Plurality, Engagement, Openness
As incoming Editor and Deputy Editor we describe our impression of the current situation that those committed to understanding and upholding environmental values find themselves in. We consider some of the factors that make enviornmental concern difficult to maintain, including conditions that affect us as academics, publishers, global citizens and activists. We describe some of the emerging trends that have appeared in Environmental Values in re…
It's opened my eyes to what's out there”: How do nature-based interventions influence access to and perceptions of the natural environment
The health and wellbeing benefits of engagement with the natural environment are well documented. Nature-based interventions (NBIs) can widen access, but little is known about how they affect independent use and perception of greenspace. This mixed methods study examines the longer-term influence of one NBI on woodland visits. 120 adults took part in a longitudinal questionnaire survey, and 20 participated in focus groups. An increase in independ…
Tree planting for climate change: Coverage in the UK farming sector press
In recent years tree planting as a response to climate change has acquired a very high profile amongst policy-makers, scientists, the media, and the public. This ‘afforestation’, however, requires space: that is, land. Agriculture currently occupies very large areas of land globally meaning that it is commonly targeted as needing to make way for tree planting, and making farmers important gatekeepers to this climate change mitigation strategy. Gi…
How Long will Business as Usual be Sustained
The Eclosion of Forest and Tree Health Stakeholdership
The anthropogenic environmental change characteristic of the Anthropocene generates numerous threats and opportunities for the non-human beings who are intrinsic to forest and tree health. There are profound consequences for both humans and non-humans as a result of natural ecosystem disturbances, such as forest fires or invasive insects, and their accompanying environmental management responses. However, the consequences for non-humans as a resu…

Public acceptance of tree health management: Results of a national survey in the UK
Assessing awareness of tree pests and pathogens amongst tree professionals: A pan-European perspective
Insights from behavioural economics for forest economics and environmental policy: Potential nudges to encourage woodland creation for climate change mitigation and adaptation
Woodland neglect as social practice
The 'under-management' of forests is a long-standing challenge for forest policy in Europe and North America. In policy and research arenas it is most frequently explained via reference to individual land-managers' decisions made on the basis of calculations of economic cost and benefit: a manifestation of the 'attitudes', 'behaviour', 'choice' paradigm. This paper seeks to challenge this analytic perspective by considering 'under-management' thr…

Wild Deer, Multivalence, and Institutional Adaptation: The "Deer Management Group" in Britain
"In Britain, wild deer can be conceptualised as a commons, although a complex institutional structure - founded largely upon land- ownership and notions of stalking rights - has evolved over several hundred years to regulate access to this resource. In recent decades, however, a number of socio-political, economic and ecological factors have fundamentally altered the nature of wild deer as a resource, introducing new impacts along with new intera…
