Visit to Alba Trees

We had a great afternoon at Alba Trees a few weeks ago. The aim of the visit was to see how the nursery is operating, how they are cultivating their trees and controlling pest and diseases, etc. We were hoping that such activities will help us to better understand nursery problems, needs and goals as well as identify possible areas of cooperation between research and stakeholders. Many thanks to all who made the visit such a success!

 

The first stakeholder workshop took place at CEH in December 2014.
