Help protect UK trees by taking part in OPAL survey

OPAL is launching its next survey, the OPAL Tree Health Survey in May 2013.

This survey has been developed by Forest Research and the Food and Environment Research Agency (FERA).

The main aim of the survey is to discover more about the general health of our trees and to provide vital information to scientists on particular trees including oak, ash and horse chestnut.

OPAL will be distributing free Tree Health Survey packs to anyone who would like to take part in the survey. As with all the other surveys, the Tree Health Survey pack includes all the information needed to complete the survey, including easy-to-follow instructions in the Field Notebook and Field Guide.

If you’d like to take part and would like to receive some free OPAL Tree Health Survey packs, then please email me stating the number of packs you need (please note that you can request up to a maximum of 10 packs) and the full postal address that you’d like the packs sent to.

Please reply by the 22 March 2013 to ensure that you receive the number of packs you need.

Thanks,
