OCA RESEARCH UNIT

The OCA Research Unit delivers applied and practical research projects associated with trees, clay soils and climate.

The principles that we measure success by are:
Peer review to international standards
Papers targeted at practically supporting land managers, tree managers and insurers in decision making
R&D investment targeted at improving sustainability of resources and of improving our towns and cities as places to live

We are investors in people and in systems and procedures and we share our results openly.

Our work is directed by an R&D board of our main Group which considers proposals for research and monitors the outputs.

The R&D Board is supported by national and internationally recognized experts who peer review research requests.
