Introduction

The International Dendrology Society (IDS) and the International Oak Society (IOS) organized a Quercus Study Day at Chevithorne Barton in the UK on July 21, 2023. The event sold out shortly after tickets were made available and was very well attended (particularly for a Friday during a train strike!) by over 40 participants. While most attendees were IDS members from the UK, the IOS was represented by a handful of members, both from the UK and overseas (US and Uruguay).
