Trees on the BBC News

[log_hauler]

Anyone see the news this morning about the wave of tree diseases sweeping the UK?

Missed it but will try and see the news later to see if it crops up again. What did it have to say?

Not a lot. Most of it was about diseases that most in the industry are aware of already. Although have to say they interviewed a guy from Westonbirt arboretum so there was a nice back drop!! Just telling the public about diseases and the reasons why they're thriving. Worth a look mind you.

They also showed a lot of Larch felling close to us in the Hafren Forest. These trees were ready for being felled for timber anyway I thought?

Good stuff I say, the sooner the public start becoming informed about the effects of climate change on trees, the more critical it will become to help retain the ones we've got, ultimately more people will start to respect trees as well as the work we do.
