Partnership PhD with UWE

A few weeks’ ago I visited the remarkable Alice Holt Research Station as a guest of Principal Pathologist Dr Sandra Denman, of Forest Research. I made the journey to Hampshire to meet Alice Dibley who is undertaking her PhD as part of a new partnership between UWE Bristol and Woodland Heritage. Alice’s work will focus on the effects of management practices on Acute Oak Decline.

I also discovered and became a member of, Woodland Heritage. Their philosophy and aims seemed very much in tune with not only what we were trying to do in our own small way, but what was beneficial to the development and promotion of the woodland sector as a whole – and which I’m sure my uncle would have wholeheartedly agreed with.
