Future Trees Trust
@futuretreestrust.bsky.social
The only UK charity dedicated to improving broadleaved trees and promoting resilient, healthy and productive forests and wood 🌳

Through decades of research and forestry experience, our work is centred on developing more productive trees.
Winter scion collection underway.

Our Researcher James Macintyre joins Ford Treescapes as they climb sessile oak plus trees for our @forestrycommission.bsky.social 🌱 Seed Sourcing Grant project.

The grafts will strengthen orchards at Whitfield Estate and Craven Field.

Last month’s heatwave pushed even our older ash archive trees to the brink. With drought persisting, contractors delivered 20,000L of water weekly to keep them going.

A quiet homage to those managing trees through it all.
