Action Oak Report 2023-24 Launch
09 May, 2024
Action Oak launches the ‘Action Oak Report 2023-24’ to celebrate Plant Health Week 2024’s Day of Plant Health Science.
It is exciting to see the third Action Oak Annual Report published, highlighting the important work that has been carried out over the past year by a range of experts with a vitally important common goal, to protect our native oak trees that are threatened by an alarming array of pests and diseases.
I want to thank all of those who continue to devote their incredible talent to this important cause. A significant milestone for Action Oak during the past year was the appointment of Annabel Narayanan as our Project Director, thanks to generous funding from Defra.
We welcome Annabel to the team where she joins Sarah and Georgina, all working together at the hub of the Action Oak wheel! Last summer we had an excellent Action Oak Partner Event at Birmingham University and in the autumn some of the Committees’ members were hosted at Norbury Park; my thanks to both organisations for kindly providing such excellent venues for meetings and site visits.
As we look to the coming year, the scale of the challenge - ‘Protecting our Oak Trees’ - is huge indeed and hence why your continued support of Action Oak is so important and, I can assure you, so gratefully received. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you and I look forward to meeting many of you over the next twelve months.
