So popular has a seminar to be held here in April proved that it is being repeated in May for those unable to gain a place at the first event. The seminar is entitled “Why do trees fall down?” and will be held at our Ely, Cambridgeshire, headquarters on Tuesday 8 May 2007. It is limited to 40 delegates.
Dr Marcus Bellett-Travers, senior lecturer in Landscape Management at Nottingham Trent University, will present findings from his HIRF Research Fellowship. The seminar offers a unique insight into how decay spreads within individual trees and whole populations, and will provide new and invaluable information to anyone involved in tree management.
Other topics include a statistical appraisal of residual wall ratios and the effects of storms on populations before, during and after they occur. Dr Bellett-Travers will also prevent new information on the spread and control of two of the most notorious pathogens Ustulina deusta and Meripilus giganteus.
Registration is from 9.30 onwards, lunch and a tour of our nursery is included, and the day concludes at 4pm. All enquiries concerning the seminar should be sent via e-mail to steve@trees-project.co.uk or to marcus@trees-project.co.uk
