Planning a Temperate Devon Rainforest?

The Devon Wildlife Trust intend to create a 30 hectare temporate rainforest, on the slopes above the river Dart, close to Totnes. UK temporate rainforest has been much reduced (only circa 1% of the original remains). This location will be planted with characteristic tree species. Mosses, lichens and ferns will also obviously be introduced. If established, Devon's new temporate rainforest could, in deed, prove to be a 'magical place'. Establishment could, however, prove very difficult. Temperate rainforests are only viable with a particular, reliable combination of ambient temperature and rainfall. This year, meteorologists forecast that the chance of the UK experiencing a hot summer (with temperatures around 40 degrees Centigrade) is 45%. This is more than twice the normal figure (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/10/risk-record-heatwave-uk-twice-normal-forecasters-40c-meteorologists). Heatwaves, with water shortages and wildfires, are increasingly likely in the future. Climate change is not going to stop. This makes developing a long-maturing environmental project, like this temporate rainforest, exceedingly difficult. Such projects require climate stability.
