Veteranisation is a means to create decaying wood more quickly on younger trees, whilst still ensuring the trees survive. There are many sites across Europe with few ancient trees and a large age gap between the existing old trees and their successors, which means time is not on our side. Therefore, there is a great risk that the biodiversity associated with the old trees may be lost if we do nothing. During this <strong>#MembersHour<\/strong>, Vikki will describe what veteranisation is, why it is worth doing, and will present the early results from an international trial (Sweden, Norway and England) that was set up in 2012.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #9cb060\"><strong>Speaker<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Vikki Bengtsson<\/strong> &#8211; VETcert Veteran Tree Specialist (Consulting level), Pro Natura<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-32010\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charteredforesters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vikki-Bengtsson.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"130\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Vikki is a senior ecologist working at Pro Natura in Sweden.
