Great work people 👏👏👏 I wonder how long this plot will be around for and how many future foresters it will supply data for! 🤯

A job well done! 2000 trees planted for the #Sycamore research trial in Oxfordshire. A special thank you to Tubex for their donation of tree shelters to help aid their establishment and to @VasternTimberUK - supporters of our Sycamore improvement work. futuretrees.org/sycamore/

Confor's good work RE lobbying and communicating about labour sourcing challenges in forestry of course got a mention @forestsandwood

Birch seed sowing is well underway at Cheviot Trees nursery. The seed was collected from silver birch plus trees and these will be planted out on our large progeny trials to assess their performance. #broadleaf #tree #futuretrees #forestry #treeimprovement

Now the Sycamore seeds have been carefully sown... a good drink to help kick off germination. #Sycamore - at Cheviot Trees Nursery @TreeFarmMac @VasternTimberUK

The current gains in yield and quality in trees over the last century have been modest. If we are to sustain forestry growth and realise the full potential benefits for society and the wider forestry sector, we need to invest more into tree breeding research. #NTIS

Exciting news! FTTs first demonstration plot was planted to show differences in source identified, selected & qualified planting material. Forestart grew the trees, @ForestryEngland provided fencing and the site, and @TUBEX1 supplied the vole guards! buff.ly/321qWZV

Given no one complains about the annual 'clear cut' on the left why do some people complain about the once every 40 years clear cut on the right? Both are sustainable as both are replanted. Yes we need food but we also need wood.
