Adventures with mistletoe in the run-up to Christmas 2004. Jonathan Briggs is a mistletoe enthusiast, and will be undertaking several mistletoe, er, events durng November and December. For background info (and the trial 2003 blog) see his website at www.mistletoe.org.uk. The default view only gives the last few posts.

First stop the orchard, where Stan does his stuff, traditional harvesting with a ladder, hooked pole etc (see pics). Then it's the turn of the biologists - Matt and I talk about mistletoe biodiversity, and especially the half-dozen insects that are obligate mistletoe feeders.

Jonathan Briggs has far too many interests to list here. For current/older blogs the key facts are that he has an active interest in mistletoe conservation, traditions and marketing. Actually the current (2009-2011) mistletoe blogging is hosted on wordpress at http://mistletoematters.wordpress.com/ so not even on blogger! How disloyal! Setting mistletoe aside, he was, until recently, involved with the UK's Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA) - hence the AIA Conference Blog (and podcast).
