WHAT IS FORWARDS?
FORWARDS is an EU-funded project that will prototype the ForestWard Observatory, a pan-European monitoring and evaluation tool that will help in demonstrating the impact of climate change on forests, guiding decision-making for practical forests management.

Network of pilot sites
FORWARDS will capitalize on information available from existing networks, and in addition establish a network of pilot sites that will be extended during the implementation stage using a call for grants. Likewise, five selected areas focus in all monitoring, management and stakeholder engagement.
