Recommended Posts

Update: The National Trust has allowed us to use a bigger room so we have some places still available, but be quick. We are now opening the seminar to students at a discount rate. We have cancelled the event on the 6th Nov since all those who expressed an interest also wanted to come to the Meripilus event. The Meripilus seminar has a good list of presenters and hope to add one or two to this. In addition most of the larger UK organisations (that have trees) will have senior representation at the event.

 

Trees Project Limited will be hosting a seminar on recent research findings and the implications of Meripilus giganteus for the stability of trees. Speakers include Marcus Bellett-Travers, Trees Project Limited; David Lonsdale; Brain Greig, Arboricultural Advisory and Information Service; Andrew Cowan, Arborecology and Julian Forbes-Laird.

The seminar is being held at Wimpole Hall, Cambridgeshire. Thursday 20th November 2008 10:00- 16:00.

The seminar is aimed at updating the knowledge of practitioners and professionals within the arboricultural industry.

 

Trees Project Limited will be presenting the most recent findings from our trial sites of 700 Mature-Ancient Beech Trees in Somerset - we have primary evidence of the relationship between occurances of Meripilus and tree failures. Additional data from almost 100 case studies.

 

There will also be an update on the recent research findings from Trees Project Limited on cankers including Horsechestnut Bleeding Canker.

Really looking forward to it, see you there Marcus.

 

 

That is an impressive list of speakers.

Was listening to JFL this morning at Merton Civic Centre speaking on Bs 8516 & 3998.

Thought prevoking delivery.

 

 

Any one needing a lift, I'll be heading off from north London.
