In this video, Owen Small discusses the decision support tool for sustainable forestry project developed by the ForES project. ForES ('For Ecosystem Services') project is backed by Ireland's Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and led by natural scientists at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and University College Dublin (UCD). The team is working with stakeholders on specific Coillte forest sites. It will use the Bayesian Belief Network method to model forest management scenarios and use the natural capital approach to create a web tool to enable all foresters and landowners to make more sustainable data-driven decisions.

The ForES team has produced the brief introductory video which features Kathleen Conroy, PhD Candidate at Trinity College Dublin, explaining how the project, working at specific Coillte forest sites around Ireland, will: - Develop natural capital accounts for forest sites that will capture information on stocks (amount, location and condition of forest habitats), and the flows of their ecosystem services - Consider the multiple values of forests in addition to commercial timber production, such as carbon sequestration, water retention, biodiversity and recreation, applying a holistic approach to ensure nature’s many values are considered in decision-making - Develop a web-based interactive tool to enable data-driven decision-making for all forest managers and landowners. The ForES ('For Ecosystem Services') project is backed by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and led by natural scientists at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and University College Dublin (UCD) and will use the Bayesian Belief Network method to model forest management scenarios.
