Ash dieback

[coldweld 65]

Was told today to expect loads of Ash to be felled, if woods contain ash dieback all the ash tree's have to be felled and either burnt or buried, at the expense of the land owner ! with no government compensation.

I was told by a woodland owner he was going to fell all the Ash in his wood while it still had a comercial value.

 

Not good news british woodland

I think there was going to be some compensation, but how much i don't know.

They knew 4 years ago about the problem with ash but didn't do nothing about it now its too late to try and stop it

Depends where you are in the country, east Anglia it is already endemic and there's bugger all can be done although that won't be officially admitted yet. My boss has planted nearly million trees in last 15 years, probably about 30% ash if not more. I haven't seen a plantation on here that hasn't got it.
