You may have heard about Ash Die-back, which is caused by a fungus called Chalara fraxinea.

At Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, we conduct regular tree audits as part of best practice in tree management and we are vigilant for the signs of the disease.

Visitors should report signs of Ash Die-back disease to the Forestry Commission by ringing the Chalara helpline on 08459 33 55 77 (08:00-18:00 every day) or email: plant.health@forestry.gsi.gov.uk

The Forestry Commission website contains essential information that will help in identifying the disease including a video and images.
