| Description: |
Traditionally the main function of forests in Europe has been wood production. However, the recreation and tourism functions of forests and woodlands are becoming more important in many European countries. In particular their benefits for economic development, health and wellbeing and quality of life.
There is however a lack of information on both the benefits and costs related to recreation and nature tourism. Researchers working in this area are also disparate and from many different disciplinary backgrounds. Much of the research on forest recreation and nature tourism been concentrated in North America.
This COST Action aims to provide a European focus to forest recreation and tourism research to bring together existing knowledge on these activities and in particular the benefits they can deliver, but also how those benefits might be provided in a way which reduces the economic, social and environmental costs of delivery
