Project Description

Ash dieback is a serious and imminent threat to the ecology and distinctive appearance of the Devon landscape. The disease is expected to kill at least 90% of ash, which is our county’s second most numerous tree. Dieback cannot be stopped but if we join together to take immediate action, we can all help to mitigate the damage it will do to our natural and cultural heritage.

Devon Wildlife Trust (DWT) is leading the Saving Devon's Treescapes project on behalf of Devon’s Ash Dieback Resilience Forum. .
