Report diseased trees says DEFA

Wed, 27 Apr 2022


People are being encouraged to report diseased trees to help build a better picture of how they are affecting the Isle of Man's hedgerows, woodlands and forests.
 
Diseases, such as ash dieback (ADB), Phytophthora ramorum and Dutch elm disease are believed to have killed thousands of trees on the Island in the last 30 years.
 
It is currently estimated that around 80% of the Island’s ash trees could be lost due to ADB and up to 20% of the commercial forests managed by DEFA will need to be felled and replanted as result of the Phytophthora ramorum infection.
 
The DEFA team can be contacted by calling 695701.
