Join host Elle McAllister, Jen Turner (RFS Development Manager), and special guest Matt Parratt (Observatree Scientific Coordinator), for a Plant Health Week Special. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical resources, especially if you're passionate about protecting our forests and woodlands.

We'll be exploring the crucial issue of tree pests and diseases in the UK, why it matters, how they spread, and how you can help spot and report them as citizen scientists. Plus, we'll discuss how the RFS is supporting efforts to boost tree resilience.

Tune in, be inspired, and become citizen scientists to protect UK trees, woodlands, and the futures of our forests. Subscribe now!
