🌳 Hope for ash trees! New research shows they're evolving resistance to deadly dieback disease—a win for biodiversity and UK forests. Nature is fighting back. 🌱 🔗 bit.ly/ash-resistance #AshDieback #NatureRecovery #Biodiversity
🤝Forest Research is one of 34 organisations taking part in the @LUNZHub — an innovative research initiative, led by the @JamesHuttonInst and the @uniofleicester, that will help drive the transformation of UK land use needed to achieve net zero by 2050, while contributing to…
Did you read this blog from our friends @LIFEinRavines? It's a fascinating insight into a decade of work restoring woodland in the Peak District following the detection of ash dieback there in 2015. Read now: forestrycommission.blog.gov.uk/2025/04/17/bat… #TreeHealth
🌰 Volunteers needed! Help protect red squirrels & young trees in northern England. Free training, real impact. Join the @SquirrelAccord mission 🐿️🌲 🔗 squirrelaccord.uk/volunteers-pro… #RedSquirrels #Conservation #Volunteering
As the dry spell continues, our team at Future Trees Trust is once again watering the ash archive—part of our long-term work to secure the future of ash in the UK. Despite the conditions, the trees are holding up well!
🌱 Can trees pass resilience to their offspring? New research from Membra & @UK_Treescapes explores how environmental stress—like elevated CO₂ and drought—affects the next generation of trees. uktreescapes.org/impact-and-ins…
📢 New paper from the Living Ash Project: Vegetative propagation of ash (Fraxinus excelsior) shows high success from 1–3 yr old material (91% rooting), but not from older trees. Peat-free media performed well; mycorrhizal inoculation had no benefit. 🔗 doi.org/10.1007/s11056…
We're pleased to be providing further funding to @SquirrelAccord to support their project protecting red squirrels & trees across Yorkshire, Lancashire & County Durham. The project is seeking volunteers & land managers in those areas: squirrelaccord.uk/volunteers-pro… Image: Andy Jackson
