John is Project Officer for the Restoration of Hardnott Forest in Cumbria. Working with the Forestry Commission, the University of Leeds is helping to restore a former conifer plantation to semi-natural woodland.

As well as contributing to the practical restoration of the forest, the project will conduct broader research to improve our understanding of the restoration of semi-natural woodlands in the UK.
