Government To Discuss Action on Ash Tree Disease

The video discusses the devastating impact of ash dieback on Britain's ash trees, highlighting over 100 cases found across the country. The disease, first detected in a Buckinghamshire nursery, has spread to young plantations and mature woodlands. The National Trust Ashridge Estate, known for its veteran ash trees, remains unaffected but is at risk. Public involvement is crucial in containing the disease, with measures like cleaning boots and bikes before visiting different woodlands. The video emphasizes the importance of containment to prevent a fate similar to Denmark, where 90% of ash trees have been wiped out.
