Landowners are responsible for assessing the trees on their land for signs of disease such as Chalara dieback of ash trees, more commonly known as ash dieback. It is an ash tree disease caused by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus fungus. Ash trees are the third most common tree in Britain, present in woodland, hedgerows, parks and gardens across the country. They are valuable habitats for over 1,000 species of wildlife, including a wide range of mammals, birds, invertebrates and other plants.
