Join us to learn about biomass crops. We will focus on miscanthus and willow and we will have a willow harvesting demonstration in the Headley Hall Biomass Field. Meet at the Nigel Bertram Visitor Centre. BASIS points have been applied for, an update will be provided to delagates.

On the day we will hear from the speakers:

  • Will MacAlpine, Rothamsted Research

  • Kevin Lindegaard, Willow Solutions

  • David Marsh, Energy Crops Consultancy

  • In the willow, David and Kevin will talk about crop agronomy, carbon storage benefits and crop harvesting and willow uses. Will MacAlpine will talk through the variety trial and the breeding work he has been doing.

  • In the miscanthus, Chris will talk through crop agronomy, carbon storage, crop harvesting and uses of miscanthus.

  • Other biomass crops will be highlighted on the field tour

  • Weather and soil conditions permitting, we are hoping to demonstrate machine harvesting of the SRC willow crop.

There will be refreshments and free lunch
