Forestry Commission’s Post

On the second day of #planthealthweek, we’re taking a look at TreeAlert; a web-based reporting tool for tree pests and diseases, managed by Forest Research with funding from Defra, Forestry Commission, Scottish Forestry and Welsh Government. It is a valuable aid, allowing you to quickly report any suspect findings of tree pests and diseases which are of concern in Britain. TreeAlert is the way the information gets from the tree to the expert: 💻The observer inputs their report to TreeAlert 📰These reports are triaged by Forest Research and assigned to specialists at the Tree Health Diagnostic and Advisory Service. 📧If they need further information or action they will contact the observer. The information from TreeAlert reports will support important tree health monitoring and surveillance work, contribute to ongoing scientific research in this field, and support efforts to protect the nation’s trees 🌳 To read about TreeAlert in more detail and learn how to make your report and capture photographs, click the below link: https://lnkd.in/dV8HF4cj Find out more about the UKGSN https://lnkd.in/e8BKhgkQ PlantNetwork Botanic Gardens Conservation International #planthealthweek #planthealthday

Development of diagnostic tool highlights the benefits of biosecurity collaboration and builds our biosecurity capability. A national diagnostic protocol for Pine-wood / Pine wilt nematode has been developed to enable Australian diagnostic laboratories to diagnose this threatening National Priority Plant Pest. https://lnkd.in/g2t6A4fr The Pine wilt nematode is a microscopic unsegmented worm that affects firs, cedars, larches, spruces, and especially pines. It would be damaging to Australia’s forestry industry and structural timber supplies and amenity trees in our streets, parks and public gardens. The Pine-wood National Diagnostic Protocol builds our toolkit to be able to identify exotic pests before they cause damage to our environment and supports the efforts of the Forest Watch Australia program. https://lnkd.in/gWVWaVQ2 Funded through the Commonwealth's Rural R&D for Profit program the protocol was developed in collaboration with CSIRO and the National Plant Biosecurity Diagnostic Network, a collection of Federal, State and industry plant pest diagnostititians working together to improve Australia's diagnostic capability.

Part two of an overview of the #NYC #UrbanForest is now live: https://lnkd.in/gEQZ2Z8g. This part will make more sense if you check out part one in the post below. I'd love to hear your thoughts on trees in NYC, or the urban forest in your neck of the woods, too! 🌳🌳🌳🌳 Jean Zimmerman, Nobel Cause Consulting

What do water, wood, wildlife habitat and fire have in common? If you said forestry, you’re probably a forester and I’ll see you at the Statewide 2025 meeting!
