Ash Dieback (caused by the fungus, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) is a fatal disease of ash trees. It was first identified in the UK in 2012 and has now spread to most areas of the country. The disease leads to rapid tree decline, resulting in risk of tree failure. We are procuring mitigation, to ensure that unreasonable risks along highways and in areas with high public usage are thoroughly mitigated.
