Very proud to be part of the "Tree Evolution Colloquium" at the Cumberland Lodge in Great Windsor Park, England. For three days, we discussed whether evolutionary rates in trees are underestimated or not.

At #BES2024 this week, UKCEH have had an exhibition stand celebrating our long-term and national-scale research, and raising awareness of our data. @britishecolsoc.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social

Three of our staff at the stand, and ready to talk to attendees. The stand shows pictures of field work and a timeline of our monitoring schemes.
