Lovely soggy family camp in beautiful Northumberland. Genuinely couldn't be happier, despite the showers! ☺️

Interesting, Sitka *spruce* is a non native *pine*?

How many native options that provide the same benefits of Sitka do we have?

Maybe it's time to start substituting non native wheat with some more local alternatives as well... 🤷‍♂️

Climate is changing fast—and forests are 200 years behind

I think it has, just the previous plan is not up to much!

That is an edge tree to be fair, the rest of the stand was not bad but very steep!

When you think you're going to look at some first thinning and it's 30m+ tall... 😬

Inspired by the call for more visibility of forest managers from the #ICF conference. I'm trying something new over on the dreaded tiktok. Let me know what subjects I should cover next?

I was talking to a colleague last week who's been working on commissioning some of the first large scale ones in the UK.

I told him I had already commissioned thousands this year and he had literally no idea what I was talking about 😂

To be fair, I think most of theirs are going directly on...

Great day to be out yesterday, inspecting a young woodland which turned out to be showing signs of heavy Elatobium defoliation.

Wondering how much more prevalent damage is going to be in future especially with warm dry Spring weather like this. Watching @forestresearchuk.bsky.social studies closely

It was very moving to hear Chris give his retirement speech at the Conference! What a life of service and dedication to the art & science of growing trees.
