This is a collaboration with tree health scientists to explore new and emerging pest threats to priority tree species and new woodlands. We aim to assess the risks posed by established pests under current and future climates, and the most likely invasion pathways for key invasive pests.
This research aims to understand why different kinds of land managers may or may not be likely to utilise natural colonisation as a tree expansion strategy.
Work conducted in 2021/22 characterised different land managers, their understandings of and attitudes towards natural colonisation, barriers to uptake, and support and information needs.
