Really enjoyed the focus on trees in BBC Countryfile this evening. Nice to see Wales featured (from about 15 minutes in) as the first country globally to declare a Climate Emergency and showcasing the current Fy Nghoeden, Ein Coedwig / My Tree, Our Forest initiative.

Also good to see my Surrey-based colleagues Caroline, Max and Matt talking about their work around 22 minutes in.

The programme is available on iPlayer for the next 11 months at:

Last week, the #BBC #Countryfile team visited our Alice Holt field station in Surrey to film some of the important and ground-breaking work we're doing at #Forest #Research. The footage is due to be included in this Sunday's broadcast on #BBC1 (20th November at 18:35).

I can't wait to see #FR colleagues on-screen (and not on a Teams/Zoom call for a change)! 😁

It'll be really interesting to see what made it into the final cut... πŸ€”πŸŒ²πŸŒ³πŸͺ³πŸ›πŸ“ΊπŸ€“

So, my #introduction. A regular user of another platform who hadn't heard of #Mastodon until last week. I'm a #professional and passionate #forester, living with #MND, so don't know how long I'll be here! (Also prone to bouts of "gallows humour"... πŸ˜‰) Currently living(!), and working, in Wales . #Family man. #Foodie (while I can still eat). A bit of a #geek.
