Wow!! Just wow!
Amazing fundraising activities like this (the generosity of those taking part & those donating to the cause) provide both practical support and a degree of optimism to those of us currently living with this indiscriminate and debilitating condition. Thank you!

Geoff Hogan carefully placing some broadleaved trees into the landscape, with the aim of maximising the range of ecosystem benefits delivered by appropriate woodland creation and management.
Alex Lewis, Amirah, and a couple of caterpillars - one of which (the oak processionary moth larva, on Alex's shoulder) definitely shouldn't be approached in real life!

The best way of minimising the chances of populations of this insect pest from increasing is by active management of spruce stands to remove potential material used for breeding and larval development, e.g., dead, dying, snapped, windblown, and otherwise stressed spruce trees.
The eight-toothed bark beetle (Ips typographus) has been found on Sitka spruce in the UK for the first time. Stay vigilant and report any sightings of this pest in Great Britain using TreeAlert. Read more: gov.uk/government/news/new-w…
