What is an RSS feed and how do I use it?
About RSS
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) allows you to subscribe to a 'feed' that contains a short description of web content - in our case, news, events that we organise and publications - together with a link to the full version of the content you want.
Where you see this RSS symbol on this or other websites, an RSS feed should be available.
By using an RSS reader, you can see when items have been updated without having to visit our website itself.
Where do I get an RSS reader and what can I use it with?
- A number of internet browsers, including Firefox and Safari, have functionality which automatically picks up RSS feeds for you. See their individual websites for details.
- Some websites such as Google have their own reader and will let you set up feeds in an online workspace.
- Many mobile phones now come with RSS readers built in. Enter the feed address into the reader and the trail conditions information will download to your phone.
- If you have your own website and want to keep your users informed about news, events and publications at Forest Research you can use the RSS feed to display these on your site.
When you've chosen a reader, you will be able to set up new RSS feeds.
To receive news and research information, you'll need to enter the following address into your reader:

I'm still confused - where can I find out more?
There is useful information on RSS on the BBC website. There is a more technical explanation of RSS on Wikipedia.
