Did you know that as a landowner or manager, it’s your responsibility to ensure the health of the trees on your land?
Ash dieback is widespread throughout the UK and Europe. It’s thought that it will affect around 60 million trees in the UK alone. At Chevron Green Consultancy, we have a team of trained arboriculturists who are able to undertake surveys and assess the impact on large or small estates. Every survey and recommendation is bespoke, depending on a number of different factors.
Ash trees with ash dieback should not be felled the moment they show symptoms. There should be a monitoring process activated whereby each tree and scenario should be treated individually. The extent of infection in individual trees is usually completed by assessing the tree canopy when each tree is supposed to be in full leaf and measuring the amount of dieback compared to an expected healthy tree canopy.
There are several benefits to dealing with any ash dieback in a timely manner. Not only does it save you money in the long run, but you will be potentially dealing with a smaller number of infected trees before the disease spreads more widely through your trees.
Our new guide to ash dieback explains your responsibilities, how we carry out ash dieback surveys, and how we can help you manage ash dieback.
