Free monthly urban forest volunteer training covered pests and diseases this month, in Handsworth Park with Tonia Clark. This wonderful morning session in the park, Saturday 16th November, saw the volunteers learning the risks to trees that come with illness and creepy crawlies, just like us humans. Fungi is ever-present, but what is that pattern in the bark?

Thank you to the volunteers who attended and to Tonia for the interesting session, we hope to see you all there at the next training on 21st December, for a special Christmas workshop!
