Privileged to present part of my PhD work on #naturalcolonisation on post-harvested peatlands in Ireland at #igc2024dub. Thanks to my supervisor @johnldevaney, and @IrishResearch & @EPAIreland for your support. Thanks too to @BordnaMona & @coilltenews

Nice day to visit a site just on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales where the landowners hope to create a space for nature on their farm. Through a @WoodlandTrust grant we are hoping to create an area fenced off from livestock & deer to allow #naturalcolonisation to occur.

I just had a great chat with @maddiemapsstuff about mapping small scale tree cover on farms and beyond. We really need a map like this for policy making and tree cover expansion. Watch her work @FR_LUES @FR_WoodCreation @SustLandUse #woodland #farming #naturalcolonisation
At the end of @WorldSpaceWeek and as one of the #WomenInSpace I wanted to shamelessly share some of my own work with #satellite and #earthobservation data. From segmentation and mapping down to an individual tree with @FR_LUES @FR_WoodCreation @Forest_Research and @watts_km...

Indeed I’m not dead, just deep into thesis writing mode. At least I can now create a clear line of argument around #naturalcolonisation in Wales, and DROWN my chapters in 5 million pretty photos. @SustLandUse @BangorUni #woodlands #uplands #carneddau

As part of our COP26 photography countdown we have a talk from Theresa Bodner, PhD Researcher at Bangor University about the importance of a variety of ecosystems and the consequences of #climate change. #ClimateEmergency #COP26 #ecosystems #ClimateAction @bangoruni

#HedgesAndEdges 😊 you can put natural regeneration/ or #naturalcolonisation in to it too.

Wilder edges... Leaving margins against boundary fences for biosecurity and biodiversity. Will likely become hedges in future years, but this’ll do for now.

Last week I accompanied a field trip into the #carneddau with reps from @NTWales, @visitsnowdonia and a local land manager (@BangorUni) to discuss bracken, heather (much more purple irl compared to the foto) and - you guessed it - trees πŸŒ³πŸ™ŒπŸ» #naturalcolonisation #uplands

Tried to capture a few more of the drivers of #naturalcolonisation in this diagram @JMBecologist - including dispersal x.com/watts_km/status/142219…

For the distinction #naturalregeneration and #naturalcolonisation it’s really useful. But I also saved the tweet to come back to it later with the results of my work on natural colonization and see what we might make of it!
Important to understand the drivers of #NaturalColonisation to create new woodlands

In my recent workshop at @treescapes2021 we discussed using these terms in detail. I’m definitely on board with mainstreaming #naturalcolonisation for emerging tree cover and woodlands! @SustLandUse @CoedCadw
What is the difference between 'natural regeneration' & 'natural colonisation'??

I stumbled across this site of #naturalcolonisation by complete accident, because none of these trees are on any of our large scale spatial maps; according to the maps there’s no trees in this area at all! @Forest_Research @Bluesky_int @SustLandUse #naturalregeneration

First day out of #isolation after catching the C, and I took a walk at the beach, looking up to the seaside hills of the #carneddau and the #naturalcolonisation of trees that I’ve yet to visit. 🌳🌲🌳 #naturalregeneration @YCarneddau @SustLandUse @BUForestry
