In our demo site in Thy, Denmark, students from Billede School joined the SUPERB project to get hands-on with nature restoration. Led by experts from Naturstyrelsen, the students didn’t just learn about biodiversity in the classroom—they ventured into the forest, rolled up their sleevesand helped to create microhabitats. 

A noteworthy advancement in replanting efforts has been achieved in Serbia’s Gornje Podunavlje Biosphere Reserve as part of the SUPERB project. Learning from past challenges, particularly drought-related failures in establishing Quercus robur stands, the current approach has been adapted for greater success. 

This paper examined narratives from 32 forest restoration experts in 18 European countries to uncover the history of forest restoration in Europe. The study asked experts to delve into six key areas—social, economic, political, technical, environmental and legal— to understand different drivers that have shaped forest restoration across Europe.
