Action Oak Symposium

Each year, Action Oak welcomes partners and invited guests to an Annual Symposium.

This allows partners, researchers and practitioners to learn more about Action Oak's supported research projects and engage in networking.

This year will also involve a participatory workshop to help progress our UK Oaks Research Roadmap which is currently being developed.

UK Oaks Research Roadmap Questionnaire

The development of the UK Oaks Research Roadmap is being led by Action Oak in consultation with the partnership, all of whom have a shared vision for a UK where our native oak trees are protected and flourish, both now and in the future. The roadmap will provide the direction for the Action Oak partnership to deliver on its mission to support development and delivery of the vital evidence needed to protect the UK’s native oak trees and safeguard their future.

As part of the roadmap development Action Oak is seeking views and perspectives from stakeholders across the research, practitioner, policy, funder, eNGOs and forestry sectors, on aspects of:

  • oak evidence gaps

  • knowledge transfer

  • oak research impact for management

  • update and evaluation

  • funding and ongoing tracking of the roadmap

We welcome your input to the questionnaire. You can access it here:

For Question 14 (Prioritisation of oak evidence gaps), please refer to this table for further information.

Our iconic oak trees face a fight for survival against pests and diseases. Losing oak trees from our landscape would impact our well-being, economy and environment.
