Huge thanks to all who attended my talk at the British Ecological Society Conference . It was on my research @StirlingScience exploring outputs in montane willow scrub restoration.

I'm grateful for the fantastic range of questions afterwards highlighting exciting new research opportunities including carbon dynamics & conservation genetics, while also providing opportunity to discuss other chapters of my PhD. It couldn't have been a more perfect Q&A! 🤩

Where should you plant montane willows for best outputs in habitat ? I'm presenting results from my @StirlingScience research at the British Ecological Society Conference tomorrow. @ 17:15 in session S17: Conservation Science and Policy (Forest ).
