Sharing forestry knowledge: Managing ash dieback - Royal Forestry Society
As ash dieback continues to impact woodland across the country, the Royal Forestry Society (RFS) and the Forestry Commission are sharing the experiences of landowners and managers in managing the disease. A second volume of case studies published this month looks at sites across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Royal Forestry Society Chief Executive, Christopher Williams, said: “Ash dieback continues to spread. The way in which you choose to manage it will vary depending on specific challenges. Safety will always be a priority, particularly in a woodland which is used by many people. The choice of tree species to replace lost ash is a critical factor in managing for the future. Your choices will depend on your management objectives. We are grateful to all those who have agreed to talk about experiences on their sites to help others facing similar decisions.”
