Great work by the fieldwork team last weekend collecting leaf samples and resurveying the forest inventory plots in one of our Dartmor sites this weekend! Rodrigo Bergamin Rachel Mailes Next on to the MEMBRA conference in Exeter tomorrow!

Excellent first day at the MEMBRA_Trees UKTreescapes Valuing Treescapes Conference. Some sobering research on tree regeneration coupled with hopeful conversations about climate action. 🌳 (photo shows the location of Walking Forest piece on University of Exeter campus)

Want to work on tree health? We are excited to be recruiting SIX interns at the Centre for Forest Protection; three at Forest Research and three at @KewScience tinyurl.com/yc4b73a9

🎉Congratulations to our four brilliant academics, who were awarded UKRI Future Leader Fellowships today! Dr Sandra Pertek, Dr Katja Kornysheva, Dr Megan McDonald & Dr Matthew Coak have secured a combined £6.9 million for their projects. Read more 👉birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/four…

We look forward to MEMBRA outputs adding to this knowledge base! As a signpost this video is very useful although I'd hope woodland managers do more research than a 90 second video and a bite-sized factsheet!
