We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Dr David Lonsdale, who passed away on 9th April 2024. He will be deeply missed, and our thoughts go to his family and friends.
David was a consultant, author and educator, specialising in the biology, pathology and mechanical integrity of trees. Through his 26 years of service at Forest Research, extensive publications, and long-standing support to the Ancient Tree Forum, he made an exceptional contribution to our understanding of trees and their care. We owe David a huge debt of gratitude.
An obituary will be published in the next issue of the ARB Magazine.
