Great to see @SIPPathologists &@EntoSoc meeting to discuss Future Plant Health issues in Ireland. I hope you had a successful meeting ! @jristaino1

[SIPP @SIPPathologists]

For the first time @SIPPathologists & @EntoSoc joined forces to host our Future Plant Health Responders meeting, and it was a great success! Huge thanks to everyone who contributed and participated! #FutureResponders #PlantHealth

[Teagasc @teagasc]

Foresters and researchers generate vast quantities of data each year to inform decisions on all aspects of forestry, from sustainable management to tree breeding. Dr Tomas Byrne highlights the value of such data in addressing climate adaptation challenges https://t.co/Y49BKba5hS

🌳 DYK? You can help protect our ash trees by reporting sightings of healthy, potentially ash dieback-tolerant trees

[Ricardo José Pimenta @rjgpimenta]

The joint @SIPPathologists & @EntoSoc Future Plant Health Responders Meeting meeting is on at @teagasc ! Representing the Tree Improvement team we had Karuna Shrestha, with a great talk on her work on micropropagation of ash to accelerate breeding and help tackle dieback 🌳 🦠

Keynote Talk by Padraig Flattery from Met Éireann:
🌍 Irelands climate is changing, we’re seeing an increase in temperatures by 0.7°C, along with shifts towards drier summers and wetter winters 🌦️ These changes could significantly impact plant health
