From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust the BBC to publish this load of nonsense!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the United Kingdom\u2019s most valued trees are struggling to keep pace with climate change and increasing extreme weather.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are very concerned that changing conditions are putting our trees under significant stress,” warns Dr Eleanor Tew from Forestry England.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To future-proof our forests, a \u2018species for the future\u2019 list has been released highlighting thirty trees likely to thrive in a warmer climate.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It includes familiar names like oak, birch, and alder, alongside less common species such as coast redwood and Corsican pine, which it is hoped will lead to a more resilient woodland.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/weather\/articles\/c0jdp9wynn7o<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oak, birch and alder? What, like the trees that have always grown in the British Isles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Has anybody seen our forests \u201cunder stress\u201d? I take my dog for walk round the local woods most days, and all the trees look as healthy as they ever have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth noting that Dr Eleanor Tew has no experience in actual forestry work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since leaving Cambridge University, she has worked for Forestry England. Her work<\/a> focuses on the practical application of forest resilience and natural capital concepts, embedding these into day-to-day decision-making.  Her academic background is in ecology, conservation and environmental economics, with a PhD from the University of Cambridge exploring natural capital optimisation in UK forestry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe she should spend a couple of years doing actual forestry work; then she might stop writing this sort of nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
