webinar. After the meeting we welcomed Dr Giovanna Massei who talked about the progress of the grey squirrel fertility control research, backed by the UK Squirrel Accord and supported so generously by RFS members following our appeal in 2018.
Giovanna Massei is the leader of the Wildlife Research and Control Team at the National Wildlife Management Centre, part of the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) in York, with broad research interests in methods to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts. Her main research areas are fertility control for wildlife and feral livestock and wild boar ecology and management.

The Importance of Carbon in a Climate Emergency
Various presenters on behalf of Forestry and Climate Change Working Group
The Forestry Climate Change Working Group presented a workshop, hosted by Tilhill, for forestry practitioners to explore the importance of carbon in a climate emergency.
As a result of the UK’s commitment to becoming a Net Zero economy by 2050, carbon sequestration is likely to become a significant additional source of income for landowners looking to enhance their property with woodland creation and can underpin the financial viability of a project.

Soils cultivation on afforestation sites
Dr Jens Haufe, Forest Research, on behalf of Forestry and Climate Change Working Group
Foresters know there is a desperate need for a huge increase in afforestation to combat climate change through carbon sequestration. This webinar is aimed at bolstering the forest industry's technical expertise in one of the most important first steps to achieving this – management of soils.
This excellent talk was hosted by the RFS on behalf of the FCCWG on 20 January 2021 and repeated due to high demand on 03 February. You can watch a recording of one of the sessions on the RFS YouTube channel by clicking HERE
