Grateful to have had the chance to speak at #BritainsForestFuture - it was a brilliant event where I learnt so much, especially from our forestry practitioner colleagues! 🌳🌱🍁
In yesterdays session on ‘Preparing for new threats’, #BritainsForestFuture attendees heard how prediction tools, spatial modelling and epigenetics are being used to assess new and upcoming risks to tree species in the UK 💻🧬🔬
Two @forest-protection.bsky.social projects were presented ⬇️

We need more trees 🌳 But - believe it or not - simply planting more won’t necessarily help and could lead to forests that are vulnerable to disease, drought & heat.
