Topic: Damaging Trees for Biodiversity
Not everyone subscribes to the idea of damaging young trees for nature conservation gain, and this technique is known as veteranisation. Veteranisation is a means to create decaying wood habitats more quickly on younger trees, whilst still ensuring the trees survive.
This presentation will describe what veteranisation is, why it is worth doing, where it may be appropriate, benefits for biodiversity associated with old trees and some different techniques.
