I'm happy to share that our paper has been published in Forest Ecology and Management, @IUFRO 10th Wind and Trees Conference special edition. 'Localised damage patterns to oak during severe UK storms in winter 2021': https://t.co/3JhtlcJzM9 A huge thanks to all authors involved

New Blog! Action Oak supported research asks why some oak trees are more vulnerable to storm damage. In her blog Kate explains the approach to answer this question, what the results mean and why this work is so important for our oak trees.#actionoak #oaktrees #treehealth

I’m delighted to share that our new paper identifying drivers of storm damage to oak has been published in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology! https://t.co/KPNQcZAd80... A huge thank you to @GaultonRachel @quine_chris @Salvo_Bonomo_ @andysuggitt and @ActionOak

Viva passed! Thrilled to have completed my PhD researching the effects of storm damage on oak trees! A huge thank you to @ActionOak and to my fantastic supervisors @GaultonRachel , Roy Sanderson, @andysuggitt & @quine_chris - and to @Salvo_Bonomo_ @drtomlocatelli for the support!

A great day at Kew yesterday for @ActionOak @ForestProtectUK and @APHAgovuk @beplanthealthy @DefraGovUK #planthealth

Great to see @Kateehalstead presenting her PhD findings at today's @ActionOak Oak Health and Plant Biosecurity event at Kew - really interesting day of talks and discussion. @SciencesNCL @ONEPlanetD

Kate Halstead from Newcastle University presents "Saving the Oak Treescape from Storm Damage" 🌳🌳🌳 @Kateehalstead @Forest_Research @SciencesNCL #ActionOak #ActionOakPartnerEvent25 #PlantHealthScience #PlantHealth #WomeninScience

🌳 Woodland owners and managers – our oaks need you. This summer, assess 5+ trees and share the data via Forest Lab to support research into Acute Oak Decline. Sign up 👉 https://t.co/y8GT4VW4vw #WoodlandManagement #TreeHealth #OakDecline

Did you know that today is Oak Day, which was initiated by our friends at @ActionOak 🌳 We thought we would celebrate our magnificent oaks throughout the day by sharing our team's favourite ones they have spotted on their travels or locally! 1. Devon - Sam 2. Perthshire -

An impressive ancient beech on the banks of the Menai, Anglesey, known as ‘The Giant Beech Tree’, with a girth of over 10 m - The largest trunk of any beech in Britain!

Great day at @NTcragside scanning the historic Orchard House!

Good to connect @Kateehalstead with another Newcastle Uni alumnus (and former @Forest_Research colleague) Alexia Stokes @eco2adapt #IUFRO2024

Had a great time presenting my work at the @IUFRO 2024 World Congress in Stockholm- Looking forward to the rest of the week!

Action Oak is delighted to share that the 'Action Oak Report 2023-24' is now available. It's a perfect way to celebrate the Day of #PlantHealthScience during #PlantHealthWeek! To join in the celebration, read more: https://t.co/IYxeFYBcg3

Congratulations to @Kateehalstead on publishing the first paper from her @ActionOak supported PhD. Good to see investigation of #StormArwen and impact on heritage trees in NE England.

Out today! New research from the awesome @Kateehalstead @ONEPlanetDTP on the effect of Storms Arwen and Barra on Oak trees (Quercus robur and Q. petraea). Unusual wind direction (northerly) seemed to cause more windsnap vs other comparable storms ('87) https://t.co/MPqhtV0SJu

Read our #NationalTreeWeek researcher spotlight on @kateehalstead from Newcastle University. Kate is working to broaden our understanding of which factors contribute to damage during extreme wind storms https://t.co/lIzM1t0QX9
