About
The Forestry Commission awarded a contract to Fera Science Ltd, University of Salford, University of Stirling, and University of York to develop a Plant Health outbreak decision support framework.
The framework is intended to inform appropriate responses to tree pest or disease outbreaks by enabling decision makers to determine the point at which to switch between eradication, containment, and learning to live with a problem based on economic, social, environmental, political, technical, and legal considerations.
The study uses key tree threats from the UK Plant Health Risk Register to apply the framework and demonstrate its fitness for purpose.
The contract value is AUD 120,000.
