On this woodland workshop visit we will look at various aspects of managing ash dieback in practise taking advantage of the tree on site to illustrate theory. We will specifically look at:

• tree safety along a road with infected Ash,
• how to regenerate an ash woodland using planting and/or natural regeneration,
• protecting and establishing new trees in a mature woodland
• how to diversify the species composition in a woodland following the loss of ash
• methods of felling and extracting timber
• consider some steps to take to make a woodland more resilient in the future.

The event will be led by Graham, Saving Devon Treescapes and Jon, Forestry Commission. The day is aimed for land managers with some existing knowledge and experience of woodlands but all are welcome.

We will start at 10am, take a short break for packed lunch (bring your own) and aim to finish around 2pm, however Jon and Graham will remain afterwards to answer specific questions

Please note the walk will not be on established paths and will be going through bramble and undergrowth on uneven ground. No access for mobility devices or wheelchairs due to nature of ground conditions. Good footwear is essential. Please note there are no toilet amenities on site.

Please contact Graham Beck, Treescapes Officer, if you have any questions: gbeck@devonwildlifetrust.org

This event is led by the Saving Devon's Treescapes project, on behalf of the Devon Ash Dieback Resilience Forum. Saving Devon’s Treescapes is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, this project aims to strengthen Devon's treescapes in the face of ash dieback disease. The project is working with Devon's communities, landowners and businesses to plant and nurture 250,000 trees outside of woodlands across Devon.
