Can you improve trees? In This episode, Jo Clark discusses the future of our native forests. She describes how research is helping create a next generation of broadleaved trees that produce better quality timber more quickly and will deliver all the environmental, social and economic benefits that they possibly can. By helping trees to survive longer, sequester more carbon and produce timber quicker, the hope is that many more people will choose to plant broadleaved trees, with all the benefits they will bring to our environment, our society and our economy.
