Mistletoe in Forests – Threat, Indicator, or Ecological Partner?
Join us for a thought-provoking scientific seminar exploring the many faces of mistletoe — from its ecological roles and forest interactions to its management and research perspectives.
This event, organized within the UNIgreen JRC4 Living Lab framework, brings together researchers, students, and forest practitioners to discuss how mistletoe affects forest health, biodiversity, and ecosystem services.
Participants will discover new findings, share experiences across European regions, and debate whether mistletoe is a parasite to be controlled or a keystone species in changing forest ecosystems.
Date & time: 18 November 2025 12:00 CET
Format: Online webinar
Who should join: Researchers, students, forest managers, and anyone curious about forest ecology and sustainability.
Let’s rethink mistletoe – not just as a winter symbol, but as a driver of forest change.
