Workshop: Identifying Oak Wood to Save Forests

All college members are invited to an online workshop, organised by the Postdoc community.

Dr Alan Crivellaro will talk briefly about the importance of wood identification to tackle illegal logging and he will then focus on how to identify one of the most used/common wood species here in the UK, the oak. This event will be a hands-on workshop. Participants will each get a piece of oak wood and a 10x magnification hand lens, and Alan will teach how to undoubtedly identify oak wood from any other wood species.
