Kicking yourself because you missed Mark Duffell's recent Botanical Skills Webinar on the etymology of scientific names?
Or maybe you just want to watch it all over again because there was soooo much to take in!
No problem, we recorded the webinar for you!

A simple way to reduce the risk of importing illegal conflict timber, would be to grow more timber in the UK.
In reality domestic timber availability is set for long term decline, so we are deliberately increasing our dependence on imported timber and other forest products.

After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 it became illegal to import Russian and Belarusian plywood and timber products into Britain and other European countries.
