Living Ash Project phase I
The specific objectives of Forest Research in the Living Ash Project are to establish new genetic trials to whether, and to what extent, tolerance of ash trees to damage caused by ash dieback is governed by genetics. The genetic trials will enable us to understand how much responses vary among families, whether breeding trees will incur a cost for tree growth and form and...

Forest Research has recently examined some long-term experiments to examine provenance variation of emerging species. Individual reports for the species covered so far can be found here. The table at the bottom of this page is a summary of how the results compare with Forestry Commission Bulletin 66, which only...
This page summarises the work of the ‘Northern Tool for Sustainability Impact Assessment ‘ (Northern ToSIA) project, funded by the EU’s Northern Periphery Programme.
This Note provides information on: identifying whether there are deer present and of which species; deciding whether deer are causing damage; the ways in which deer problems can be prevented and knowing where to go for more advice.
In this Occasional paper information is given on the application of forest nursery herbicides. Much of this information is based on Forestry Commission trials. A brief description of the types of herbicide is given followed by information on the various herbicides which can be used at the different growth stages of forest nursery stock.Note: This […]
