Danny, who is working on our ash pangenome, has been out in the field looking at symptoms on trees with ash dieback. Ash dieback is caused by an invasive fungus and is having a devastating affect on trees across the UK. Take a look at our projects to find out more about how a pangenome might be able to identify resistance.
Supporting the next generation of foresters and tree health scientists
It’s National Plant Health Week (11 – 17 May 2026) and today we are celebrating plant and tree health science and scientists! Our education and training programme aims to train future forest protection scientists as well as provide continuous professional development (CPD) opportunities for those already working in the sector.
