The research station at Alice Holt Lodge, near Farnham in Surrey was opened in 1946. Alice Holt Lodge is now the main research station, but there is also a Northern Research Station at Roslin, near Edinburgh. The object of the work at the station is to advance forest technology and so improve the growth and quality of the forests and increase labour productivity in ways consistent with sound land management. It takes the form of applied research, covering all major practical aspects of forest crops, notably plant production, silvicultural research, tree improvement, crop protection. A limited amount of pure research is also carried out into soil physics, forest hydrology, genetics, physiology and the biology of pests and diseases.
