What is this seminar about?
Farmers are often considered important but hard-to-reach audiences for forestry and tree health. This seminar will summarise lessons learnt from several projects highlighting barriers and opportunities for improved knowledge exchange and engagement with farming communities.
The problem is partly one of culture, and we discuss cultural differences as well as synergies and a way forward for developing a shared understanding of the role of trees on farms. In particular, we will focus on the importance of building connections between different knowledge-sharing organisations and focussing on information development in improving the relevance and quality of knowledge which reaches the farmer. This work therefore aims to support knowledge intermediaries (organisations and influential individuals) who engage with farmers around trees and tree health, recognising the need for a ‘shared language’.
Finally, we will use the example of the co-designed Farmer’s Guide to Ash Dieback as an example of how knowledge exchange and collaboration can successfully bridge the divide between the two industries.
