TREES: THE KEY TO CLIMATE PROOFING OUR CITIES- London, 10th July 2008.
A 10% increase in urban tree cover could neutralise rising city
temperatures, but large trees with irreplaceable climate-control benefits
are being lost at an alarming rate. This pioneering conference explores
practical possibilities to reverse tree loss within current planning
framework. It can be done: our objective is to define how to do it. FINAL
BOOKINGS NOW AT WWW.TREEWORKS.CO.UK/SEMINARS

There are distribution maps on the Forestry Commission web site. I did
attend a seminar on this last year but the feeling I got when I came
away from the conference was we will just have to wait and see what
happens to the HC. Obviously the research is still in its early days and
the effect of leaf miner (especially combined with BC and Guignardia) is
still to be fully seen. See links below. The extent of leaf miner is
quite rapid from the maps.

We seem to have a heavy infestation in the Lewes District Area (Sussex)
- the first sightings were only two years ago and now it seems to be on
every HC is see! What's it like elsewhere and what is the prognosis for
Horse Chestnut in the light of Bleeding Canker (also prolific
hereabouts)?
