Great to be involved in this session at #BritainsForestFuture - a really good panel discussion with the CFP speakers and Jo Clark from @futuretreestrust.bsky.social on the future of ash and genomic approaches to resilient trees more broadly.
In 'Genetic approaches to delivering more resilient trees, woods and forests', #BritainsForestFuture attendees explored how understanding tree genetics can help select traits to make our trees, woods and forests more resilient.
Three @forest-protection.bsky.social projects were presented⬇️
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! 🌳🌱🍁
