We have planted our first tree in the Forest of Biologists! - a living forest, created as part of a biodiversity initiative from The Company of Biologists, with support from The Woodland Trust.
For each Research Article or Review article published, a living tree will be planted in a UK forest. The initiative will also fund the restoration and preservation of ancient woodland. All of the planted trees will also be represented together in a virtual forest.
For the article OptIC-Notch reveals mechanism that regulates receptor interactions with CSL, by the Bray lab, published in Development Journal (June 2023), a pedunculate oak will be planted in the Young People’s Forest at Mead in Derbyshire.
