BiFoR Face Facility
BIFoR welcomes requests to get involved with research.
The research woodland "Mill Haft" offers the opportunity to complete research in patches of woodland that are experiencing the atmosphere of the future. The woodland research facility has:
- a team of technicians available to support field work
- welfare facilities on site (including a shower and lockers)
- parking
- electrical vehicles to help transport heavy equipment up to the forest
- bench space and a flux lab and tower in the woodland (data and power)
- woodland laboratory - including outside dirty lab area, inside clean space and offices
- met masts (data and power)
- canopy access so all parts of the canopy can be reached including the sunlit leaves
- access to a stream 'Wood Brook' running through the woodland that has data and power nearby for stream monitoring
- a Data Manager, who can advise on data already captured eg meteorological data from 2015 onwards
- a tissue bio- bank of leaf / twig / pollen / soil samples from 2015 (in most cases)
- Wi-Fi on site
The BIFoR White Book provides detailed information for users of the facility, including links to the correct and most up to date risk assessment and method statement forms
