Out today! New research from the awesome Kate Halstead ONE Planet DTP on the effect of Storms Arwen and Barra on Oak trees (Quercus robur and Q. petraea). Unusual wind direction (northerly) seemed to cause more windsnap vs other comparable storms ('87) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


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.



Good to connect Kate Halstead with another Newcastle Uni alumnus (and former Forest Research colleague) Alexia Stokes eco2adapt #IUFRO2024




Did you know that today is Oak Day, which was initiated by our friends at Action Oak 🌳 We thought we would celebrate our magnificent oaks throughout the day by sharing our team's favourite ones they have spotted on their travels or locally! 1. Devon - Sam 2. Perthshire -
