Please come and join us for this informative and eye opening field trip, looking at the affects of Chalara where it was first spotted on our shores (Framlingham, Suffolk).

This event is free to MTOA members (but you will need to make your own way there and buy your own lunch!) and is coupled with an afternoon site visit to Staverton looking at the ancient trees (now confirmed). Our itinary for the day is- 08.45 meet at Pound Farm for an 09.00 start on the tour of the site. There should be plenty to see and discuss hence the early ish start. We anticipate we should finish around 12pm at Pound Farm which will give us time to do the appropriate biosecurity stuff before moving on to Staverton for lunch and then the tour of the site. Please see http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woods/wood/4401/pound-farm/ for directions. Spaces are limited to a maximum of 30 so please show your interest as early as possible. We look forward to seeing you there. There is a group meeting down there the night at the local Inn (the Crown, Framingham – IP13 9AP) before so if you wish to join us prior to the day please let us know.

As of today (16th July) there are still spaces available for you to join us for this thoroughly informative day so please let us know you’re coming as soon as you can.

Unfortunately we have had to postpone this event till a latter date in the year. Please bear with us on this and as soon as we have a new date we will post it here.

The MTOA have compiled another great value, educational and awareness day in the heart of the Midlands.

Looking at one of the largest research projects involving trees right here in the Midlands, what we do with our trees once they have been felled and recognising our urban forests in context with the way we live today.

So to be inspired and enthused by these eye opening approaches to how we manage our trees please see the attached flyers (word and pdf formats) and book your place today (or tomorrow). Places may be available for a fellow colleague (maybe Highways, Planning or your Environmental teams) to also see just a little of what amazing contributions trees can make to our respective environments  Bi day flyer Bi day flyer .

Specific details of the exact location of this seminar within the University will be forwarded to delegates in due course.

We look forward to seeing you all there.
