@SteveFowkesFC @ForestryComm We will just have to assist it's migration further North... Some fantastic beech woods in the north east, unfortunately still considered "non-native" by many!

[steve fowkes @SteveFowkesFC]

@ForestryComm Not a great outlook, resilience to the changing climate-wise, but such a majestic tree. Watching spring unfold in the local beechwoods has helped keep me (almost) sane these last weeks...

[Forestry Commission @ForestryComm]

A little later than expected but Group F of the #ForestTreeWorldCup2020 now kicks off and some Pacific North West giants are going head to head. The world’s tallest tree surely in with a chance here?

An excellent and closely fought contest of the #ForestTreeWorldCup2020! Cryptomeria just managing to stay ahead of cherry, and even closing the distance with Hornbeam at the end. Robinia aka Black locust also with a respectable showing; but is it a tree or a pea?@FlyingQuercus

[Forestry Commission @ForestryComm]

Global temps could rise to 4°C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century. @forest_research’s new climate tracking tool can help forestry practitioners track climatic changes over time to help inform woodland management decisions https://t.co/ieyR5GNRVk

[Forestry Commission @ForestryComm]

This #WorldEnvironmentDay we’re shining a light on climate change resilience. If you’re a landowner, our guidance will help you consider the impact of the changing climate when creating or managing woodland https://t.co/eb8o4eiDr1 #betterwithnature

As the forestry industry regulator it's our job to make sure #treefelling is managed legally. In our new blog post find out why this is important and how to alert us to instances of suspected illegal felling.
