Which native trees are the most important for agroforestry? Our open access paper @FESI_UNAM @kewscience @Pronatura_Ver @Inecol_mx uses a hybrid approach to reveal the key carbon & useful species to use in shade coffee forests of Veracruz Mexico. https://t.co/21UpgTazt2

Our course has finished with several seed collections and great memories. Thanks Graham Jessup @ukindomrep and Pedro Suarez @JardinBotanicRD for congratulating our 15 trainees who will be helping us evaluate seed of cloud forest trees for conservation and propagation.@KewScience

[Michael Way @MichaelWay88]

Fundacion Progressio reviewed #Magnolia propagation and conservation as part of our @kewscience course today. We all took the opportunity to plant #Magnolia seedlings in Ebano Verde reserve. Thanks to @bgci and Fondation Franklinia for supporting these propagation projects.

Juniperus gracilior is an endangered cloud forest tree which has potential in reforestation projects. Our @kewscience #Magnolia Forest course participants collected well-formed seed near Parque Nacional Valle Nuevo, for seed-banking and propagation. @ukindomrep @JardinBotanicRD

[Michael Way @MichaelWay88]

Our @KewScience seed training course for #Magnolia forest rangers has started at the beautiful Ébano Verde reserve in Dominican Republic. Thanks also to Jardín Botánico Nacional, Fundación Moscoso Puello and funding from@ukindomrep and @WestonFdn for making this possible.

In 2017, @GTA_GTSG delivered Red List training in Haiti at the Jardin Botanique des Cayes. Founder and Director William Cinea (@WCinea) shares the impact of this on the gardens.

Back to it for the Wilder Ouse project volunteers after a short summer break away.
Four scrapes, 11 leaky dams, 2 wildflower seed banks, and tree guard removal later, our work here is done!

Peru’s zoning amendment endangers forests | our letter in @ScienceMagazine with @Carlitoscapac we highlight that this law is likely to accelerate deforestation in Peru as it removes checks facilitating land-grabbing & exploitation from communal territories https://t.co/kNcbFJQFJD

Congratulations @ibisMexico for the decision to provide refillable bottles of filtered water in your guest rooms. Felicitaciones para está decisión más sustentable. #reuse

@KewSUSS @KewScience We are really pleased to share the results of our #UKPACT project in Veracruz. This has only been possible thanks to the scientific cooperation between Fesi-UNAM and @KewScience, with local collaborators @Pronatura_Ver and @Inecol_mx

[Michael Way @MichaelWay88]

@RJABuggs Richard I think the trial plantings are from that era. e.g...'trees were grown in the pinetum to assess their potential, often followed by large-scale plantings for in-depth study. This work continues today and there are still research plantings in the old Forest Plots'

[Michael Way @MichaelWay88]

It is excellent to see this engagement from @Mx_Diputados in the progress of our project, aiming to strengthen carbon sequestration, the local shade-coffee economy and forest biodiversity, with support from #UKPACT and @ukinmexico

Just celebrated 30 years dedicated to seed-banking @wakehurst_kew for @Kewscience and our many partners. It was nice to be reminded of a favourite hat from one of the many Millennium Seed Bank Partnership field trips that I've enjoyed, thanks MSBP!

[Michael Way @MichaelWay88]

Thanks to the @JardinBotanicRD for great collaboration in projects conserving seeds of wild plants from Dominican Republic. There is still a lot that together we have to do for the threatened and useful trees of Hispaniola. @ukindomrep @KewSUSS
