Rainforest Regeneration in Scotland film

As part of our final Smart Forests case study, we have developed a short film, Rainforest Regeneration in Scotland: Communities and Technologies. In the film, we learn about the role of digital technologies in facilitating temperate rainforest regeneration by visiting four community-based projects in western Scotland, including Argyll and Isles Coast Countryside Trust, Mull and Iona Community Trust (MICT), Arkaig Community Forest (ACF) and Woodland Trust Scotland (WTS), and Native Woods Coop in the Appin area.

A more in-depth discussion of this final Smart Forests case study can also be found in our final report, Community-led Forest Technologies: A Smart Forests Final Report.

You can view the 12-minute film here or on our Vimeo channel.

The film has been created by Mind the Film and the Smart Forests research group. Full credits are available in the film.
