With Jill Butler and Kamil Witkos-Gnach (Links to book recommendations below)
A free webinar from the Arboricultural Association featuring two internationally-recognised speakers exploring what people working in arboriculture today can learn from studying ancient trees and forests.
Kamil Witkos-Gnach delivers a presentation about the lessons arborists can learn from the Białowieża Forest, often called the last remnants of primeval forest in Europe.
Then Jill Butler speaks about ancient British Forests, examining some of the misconceptions about the historic British landscape and investigating the importance of wood pastures and open-grown trees.
