SUMMARY:Biomass Connect Webinar No. 10
DESCRIPTION:Biomass Crops – some interesting alternatives: Poplar and Hemp \nThis webinar will provide the latest developments in two exciting land use options: Poplar and Hemp. The presentations will provide a quick-fire introduction with information on agronomy\, variety choice\, yields\, cropping regimes\, markets and the potential for carbon removal. There will be plenty of chances to pose your burning (and non-burning) questions to our expert panellists. \n \nOur Speakers will be Pietro Alasia from AL.Wood and Jamie Bartley from Unyte Group. \nSpeakers:\nJamie Bartley: Unyte Group \nJamie Bartley \nJamie Bartley is the CEO of the Unyte Group and also Co-Chairs the Cannabis Industry Council\, working closely with the UK Government via the APPG for Industrial Hemp and CBD products. Having launched the group in 2019\, with a diverse set of business units covering Hemp\, Energy\, Waste and Medicinal\, the focus has always been the improvement of human and planetary health. Jamie’s passion is about impact at scale\, as this is the only way we will achieve the net zero targets\, therefore focussing on the decarbonisation of construction products and bio char as scalable solutions that Hemp can provide. \n  \nPietro Alasia: AL.Wood \nPietro Alasia \nPietro Alasia is a fourth-generation entrepreneur from Italy. After completing his studies in agribusiness at the Minoprio Foundation\, he dedicated himself to the family business\, AL.WOOD.

SUMMARY:Biomass Connect Webinar No. 9 - Rescheduled
DESCRIPTION:Plan Bs – How to turn it around when something goes wrong \nOur popular webinar series is back for Season 3 and hits the ground running! \nWhen you are managing a perennial biomass crop with a 20 year+ lifetime\, it is unlikely that it will all be plain sailing. There’s a lot that can go wrong: Weeds\, rabbits\, deer\, pests\, diseases\, gappy crops\, floods\, droughts\, changes in legislation\, schemes and markets are all possible things that growers will have to face at one point or another. This webinar will provide some possible options to meet these challenges and get the most out of your crop. Any grower who’s got a problem should tune in and ask the expert panel of “agony aunts” for advice. \nThe webinar will focus mainly on Short Rotation Coppice willow and Miscanthus crops but many of the issues addressed will be familiar to any perennial biomass crop. Our very knowledgeable panel (Will Macalpine of Rothamsted Research and Chris Ashman of Aberystwyth University) have dealt with most of these issues over the years so have first hand experience of how to find a solution whenever reality throws a curveball. \n \nOur Speakers will be William Macalpine\, plant breeder at Rothamsted Research and Chris Ashman\, Post-doctoral research associate at Aberystwyth University. \nSpeakers:\nWilliam Macalpine: Rothamsted Research \nWill Macalpine \nWilliam is a willow breeder at Rothamsted Research. He has over 21 years’ experience in willow breeding\, perennial energy crop agronomy and in making phenotypic and physiological measurements. He has performed over 700 crosses\, carried out research to overcome crossing barriers\, produced mapping populations and elite SRC willow varieties. He has planned\, planted and managed around 100 perennial energy crop field trials. William has an in-depth knowledge of the UK National Willow Collection\, a unique Salix germplasm resource\, which is located at Rothamsted Research. \nChris Ashman: Aberystwyth University \nPost-doctoral research associate at IBERS and Demonstrator Hub manager at the Biomass Connect Aberystwyth site. \nChris Ashman \n  \n\n				Register Here

SUMMARY:Feeding Willow to Lambs: Results from the Field Lab
DESCRIPTION:Join Innovative Farmers for the latest feeding willow to livestock network webinar. \nThis webinar will feature farmers\, Tom Fairfax & Dr Nigel Kendall to discuss results of this field lab evaluating the effect of feeding willow leaves to weaned lambs. \nThis field lab explored how cobalt-rich willow trees could prevent deficiencies in lambs\, cutting the need for supplements. Willow is known for high levels of cobalt\, zinc and salycilic acid\, providing valuable supplementary feed in addition to shelter\, shade\, water retention and carbon sequestration. \nYou’ll hear from both Tom (Mindrum Estate\, a triallist in the field lab)and Nigel (School of Veterinary Medicine and Science\, University of Nottingham) on the trial design\, the results and lessons learned around the practicalities of feeding willow to lambs. \nThere will be opportunities for participants to engage fully in the session and ask any questions to the panel.

SUMMARY:Role of Forestry in Natural Flood Management
DESCRIPTION:Natural flood management (NFM) involves the use of natural processes and environments to mitigate flood risk. Large tracts of upland areas in Wales are used for commercial forestry\, and appropriate management of the forest structure\, species and age diversity\, and harvesting schedules in these areas has the potential to provide significant NFM benefits\, which have not yet been fully explored. In this study\, we sought to develop a digital twin of the forests in the Afon Pennal catchment\, located near Machynlleth in mid-Wales\, through a novel instrumental setup to collect the canopy throughfall data in real-time and combining it with satellite-derived forest parameters to simulate the impact of forest management on the river’s streamflow response. Our results\, which will be presented during the talk\, suggest that this integrated modelling approach is potentially valuable for aiding and informing forest management planning in the future.
