Tree Health and Biosecurity

Past Event - see recording below

This webinar, featuring expert insights from Matt Parratt (Observatree) and Flora Donald (Scottish Forestry), dives into the fundamentals of tree health, exploring what makes a tree unhealthy and the specific pests and diseases currently prevalent across Scotland. You’ll learn exactly what to do if you’re concerned about a tree, where to find reliable information, and what the formal process looks like if your trees are found to have a statutory pest or disease.

The second half of our session focuses on proactive protection and the "how-to" of biosecurity. The speakers share practical advice, simple tips, and tricks to help mitigate the spread of infection and minimise risks to our woodlands. From understanding how to stop the spread of disease to implementing effective biosecurity measures on the ground, this session is designed to empower you with the tools needed to safeguard Scotland’s trees.
