Chris mentioned DiversiTree a UKTreescapes project that brings together lots of partners, stakeholders and advisories! #AABTrees uktreescapes.org/projects/diver…

Final session of 'Creating Canopies' kicked off by Ros Sanchez-Lucas who introduces a metabolomic analysis from intriguing finding that severity of ash dieback is lessened in trees that are adjacent to cherry trees 🧬🍒 #AABTrees

A fundamentally important report. The graph clearly illustrates why we must think harder about forest adaption. The recommendations may not go far enough.

ICYMI American Forests & @ForestService just signed a Keystone Agreement to stage manage the process for turning REPLANT Act funding into climate-resilient reforestation across our National Forests at a scale unparalleled on🌎. Here's the story in 5 acts...🧵

🌾We're at #RootstockDevon today, exploring how farmers, citizens and scientists can come together in support of more sustainable farming systems. Great discussions from Nature Friendly Farming Network, Rothamsted Research and many more. #SoilHealth #RegenAg #Agroecology

"The most essential part of the supply chain for us is having a small-scale abattoir on the farm doorstep."

#RootstockDevon. Hugely informative. Excellent sessions on soil, biodiversity, marketing & livestock. Two standout comments: Professor Michael Lee of Harper Adams University suggests farmers should “aim for the sweet spot between making profit & minimising impact on the environment.” 1/2

Our research indicates that many farmers do not feel valued, understood, supported or fairly rewarded.

We also know that such ‘disenchanted’ farmers have less social support, are unlikely to feel satisfied with their social life & leisure time and are the least likely to feel valued.

Very cool: trees planted a century ago are stalling effects of global heating in eastern US, study finds theguardian.com/environment/20…

Nailing it Emily Norton 👏

Agreed. The article is bewilderingly unbalanced. @Rharrabin has chosen to present the NCC report partially, misleadingly and sensationally.

This article was a lot to take in. I needed a few days to reflect. 1/9 The ‘Mother Tree’ idea is everywhere — but how much of it is real? nature.com/articles/d4158…

Congratulations to Kate Halstead on publishing the first paper from her Action Oak supported PhD. Good to see investigation of #StormArwen and impact on heritage trees in NE England.

Irish pine on the Burren. Controversy still rages over whether this little patch survived the ice-age in its sheltered dip, or whether it died out and was reintroduced from Scotland thousands of years later.

Incredibly sad news.

Back to the future.

When it gets personal Almost every day I am working on understanding heavy precipitation in a warming climate, I am giving many lectures and public talks. But it still feels very different now that it hit a region that is close to my heart.

Our NEW blog post explores the benefits of Continuous Cover Forestry for managing healthy, sustainable woodlands. We share it in loving memory of its co-author Bill Mason, late Chair of the Continuous Cover Forestry Group. He will be greatly missed. forestrycommission.blog.gov.uk/2024/07/11/the…
