Trees matter. But just how much‪?‬ Generation One

This week we’re talking trees, from Kew Gardens to Dame Judi Dench’s back garden. Join hosts Matt Winning and Mark Maslin as they chat to Prof Mat Disney about measuring trees, and to Craig Bennett, CEO of Wildlife Trusts about the importance of biodiversity, and how the UK is ‘beaver ready’. Listen now to hear about a NASA app that allows you to measure trees around you and assess how much carbon they can hold. We also chat about the UK climate, how wildlife is on a decline and what needs to be done now to undo the damage.  For more information on Generation One and to access the transcript: www.ucl.ac.uk/climate-change/podcast  To download the NASA app and pledge to weigh your local trees: www.ucl.ac.uk/climate-change/stories/trees-matter-just-how-much   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
