Forestry Commission England Area tree health events
Until March 2017
We are once again hosting a series of regional tree health events. These popular sessions run throughout the year, and typically include speakers from Forestry Commission England, Forest Research, APHA and industry. Topics often include local tree health updates, biosecurity, tree planting and resilience, and updates on the latest tree health guidance and legislation.
These events are often over-subscribed, so readers who are keen to find out more about their local events should contact their local Area team to check dates, locations and availability of places.

Trees, People and the Built Environment 3
5-6 April, University of Birmingham
Greater integration of trees into our transport systems and the benefits trees have on human health are some of the subjects that will be discussed at the Trees, People and the Built Environment conference this spring. Experts from around the world, among them arboriculturists, urban foresters, health officials, ecologists, academics, planners and engineers, will offer new research and practice on the environmental, social and economic benefits of urban trees.
The conference is a vital platform for pan-industry collaboration between professionals working across the spectrum of greenspace topics. Forestry Commission England and Forest Research are supporting this conference, and will be exhibiting.
Tickets and further information about speakers are available on the conference website.
