Four diseases threaten tree health
FOUR lethal diseases are threatening to devastate trees in the Eastern region and could dramatically change the landscape forever, the CLA has warned.
Oaks, pines, horse chestnuts, larches, sweet chestnuts and Douglas fir are all at risk as researchers desperately seek to find control measures.
Increase funding
The CLA is urging the government to increase the funding for research into these diseases and pests.
The association is also advising owners, contractors and workers to maintain strict hygiene when working with trees and to report any suspicious outbreak to the Forestry Commission.
