Treescapes2021 is breaking new ground as it unveils a unique line up of key note speakers, talks and workshops to bring researchers and woodland practitioners together online from 6-8 July.

Led by early career researchers based at three universities – Bangor, Birmingham and the Open University - Treescapes2021 aims to stimulate lasting conversations between research and woodland practitioners, providing up-to-the-minute experiences on the ground from foresters and woodland managers and an insight into some of today’s cutting edge research into forests, woodlands and trees from upcoming researchers.

Maximum ticket price is just £30 for all three days! Student tickets are just £10. Book at www.birmingham.ac.uk/treescapes2021

Treescapes2021 is being held in collaboration with CENTA, Envision, The Forest Edge and the Royal Forestry Society with support from Forest Research and the Woodland Trust
