Northern Forest (England)

Northern Forest (England) is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Northern Forest (England) rather than just read about it. In short: The Northern Forest is a partnership in England between five of England's Community Forests, (the Mersey Forest, the White Rose Forest, City of Trees, and Humber Forest), the Woodland Trust and the Community Forest Trust. The aim is to plant 50 million trees between Liverpool and the Yorkshire coast for the benefit of nature and communities.

Key takeaways

Northern Forest (England) belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Northern Forest (England) to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Northern Forest (England) from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Northern Forest is a partnership in England between five of England's Community Forests, (the Mersey Forest, the White Rose Forest, City of Trees, and Humber Forest), the Woodland Trust and the Community Forest Trust. The aim is to plant 50 million trees between Liverpool and the Yorkshire coast for the benefit of nature and communities. Initial funding for the project was granted by the UK government in January 2018.

Aims Planting in the Northern Forest partnership area would run the whole width of England from Liverpool and Chester in the west to the coastline of the East Riding of Yorkshire including the cities of Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield and Hull. The aim is to plant 50 million trees in the 25 years between 2017 and 2042, a trebling of current planting rates in the area; this would increase the rate of reforestation in England, which is at record low rates and may currently be outweighed by the rate of deforestation for the first time in decades. The area currently has less than 8% tree coverage, one of the lowest proportions in the country. The scheme was developed as an environmental counterpart to the government's Northern Powerhouse strategy. The trees proposed are a mix of native and non-native broad leaf trees and high-yield coniferous trees. The forest would provide timber and biomass for industry as well as a leisure resource, reduce flood risk and improve air and water quality. It is hoped that a market for timber could be found in the biomass power stations in the M62 motorway corridor, which generate up to 10% of the UK's electricity and require up to 10 million tonnes of fuel per year. The initial planting will be close to the cities, with an aim to increase coverage in this area to 20%. The next priority would be river valleys where reforestation will reduce flood risk. The more remote portions would be planted towards the end of the 25-year programme.

Funding The cost of the project has been estimated at £500 million, whilst economic benefits are estimated at over £2.5 billion. The UK government granted initial funding of £5.7 million to the project in January 2018. There is hope that mitigation funding from infrastructure projects such as the extension of the High Speed 2 rail scheme and major road schemes will be made available in the future. It is also hoped that there may be funding as agricultural subsidies are redirected after Brexit.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Northern Forest (England)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Northern Forest (England) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Northern Forest (England) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Northern Forest (England) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Northern Forest (England)

In research: Northern Forest (England) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Northern Forest (England) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Northern Forest (England) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2017 establishments in England, 2017 in science, Community-based forestry, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Northern Forest (England) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
