Woodland Symposium

S2E22 The 2020 Woodland Symposium was hosted by BCT, six years after the inaugural symposium. It bought together landowners, ecologists, bat workers and professionals from the woodland and forestry industry to listen to talks from 15 speakers covering research, knowledge updates and case studies on woodlands and bats. We hear from three of those speakers as well as a couple of the 11 students who had been given a place at the conference by bursaries offered by the Back from the Brink project (check out episode 2 for more on that!). George Fisher talks about the Woodland Wildlife Toolkit Vikki Bengtsson on Veteranisation of trees and Vikki also discusses this topic on another podcast "Tree Lady Talks" Rob Coventry discusses Ash Dieback Follow Morgan Hughes on twitter Follow Eleri Kent on twitter Join the conversation on social media using #BatChat: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BatConservationTrust/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/_BCT_ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/batconservationtrust/ For more bat news, head to our website https://www.bats.org.uk/ Producer: Steve Roe @SteveRoeBatMan Cover Art: Rachel Hudson http://rachelhudsonillustration.com/info Support the show Please leave us a review or star rating if your podcast app allows it because it helps us to reach a wider audience so that we can spread the word about how great bats are.
