We have exciting plans to increase significantly the scope and depth of our work as the only UK charity dedicated to improving broadleaved trees by conventional selective breeding to deliver vital environmental, economic and wellbeing benefits for current and future generations. We will be able to share more details about this with you in the New Year and very much look forward to implementing these with our new Chief Executive in place.
