The Welsh Plant Health Surveillance Network

This article, published in the Journal of Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGjournal), outlines the work of the Welsh Plant Health Surveillance Network (WPHSN), a Welsh Government funded plant health initiative. Launched in 2022 by Forest Research (FR), the primary aim of the WPHSN is to monitor the presence and absence of native and invasive pests and pathogens that can pose a threat to the health of plants and trees across Wales, acting as an early warning system and monitoring tool.
