At this years , Bangor University launched a new Forestry Alumni Association group at the ConFor (Confederation for Foresters) stand. There was a great turn out and the group looks set to be a huge success for networking and social events in the future. We've been teaching forestry for over 120 years so theres a lot of you! Thanks to everyone who came to meet up and support. If you want to keep in touch or find out more about being a connected alumni please see here https://www.bangor.ac.uk/alumni or join us on forestry@bangor on LinkedIn

A beautiful new bilingual book about the Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri - Eryri National Park has been published by Y Lolfa and features a chapter on the amazing local geology by our very own Dr Lynda Yorke. Reflecting on the project, Dr Yorke shared: "What an honour and delight not only to be asked to contribute to this wonderful book in the form of writing the chapter on geology, but
to be invited to speak about my passion for the landscape of Eryri at the book launch too ... it was a wonderful evening and celebration of a book that I have no doubt will come to be
owned by many, many people not just in Eryri but across the globe!"

Strengthening partnerships for people, wildlife and the future.

We have formalised our longstanding relationship with the Welsh Mountain Zoo through a new Memorandum of Understanding.

By combining our academic expertise with the zoo's practical conservation knowledge, the partnership will support innovative research, enhance animal welfare, tackle environmental challenges and provide our students with learning experiences through placements, internships and field-based opportunities.

Together, we are inspiring the next generation of conservationists while making a positive impact on wildlife, communities and the natural world.

Bangor University has been awarded a £5 million Leverhulme Trust grant to establish the 'Rhythms of Life Leverhulme Doctoral Training Programme'. 🔬

As one of just 10 UK institutions selected to receive a Leverhulme Centenary Doctoral Scholarship grant, Bangor will welcome up to 30 doctoral scholars over the next three years to explore how biological rhythms shape life on Earth - and how environmental change is disrupting these vital natural patterns 🌍

Building on a research legacy that began in the 1960s, the programme will bring together expertise from across environmental sciences, ocean sciences, psychology, sport and exercise science, and the humanities to tackle some of the most pressing questions about ecosystem health, human wellbeing, and our relationship with the natural world 🌱

Congratulations to everyone involved in securing this prestigious award and to the researchers who will lead this exciting new chapter of interdisciplinary discovery 🙌
