International Dendrological Society (IDS)
Conference on Pests and Diseases
The Jodrell Lecture Theatre, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Wednesday 7 November 2012
Introduction. With climate change, the ability to move and plant larger trees from nurseries on the Continent and freer movement of trade in the EU, we are experiencing an increase of exotic pests and diseases that will be a potential threat to the trees in our collections. The expert speakers on this one day conference will raise awareness for any tree collection holder about the pests that we already have in our gardens, but also the potential threats from both Europe and North America. Provisional Programme Cost and Booking. £50 per person (£40 IDS Junior Members), including lunch. Numbers limited to 150 including representatives of outside organisations. In the event of over-subscription, priority will be given before 1 March 2012 first to non-UK members and secondly to IDS members over non-member guests.
