Tree pests and diseases
Trees can be affected by a number of tree pests and diseases. We work alongside the Forestry Commission to monitor their spread and to manage them.
Where possible we will aim to restore trees to a healthy and safe state. If disease or pests are detected we will not automatically remove the tree.
You can find out more about the main pests and diseases to be aware of on the Forest Research website:
- Oak Processionary Moth (OPM) – Forest Research
- Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner – Forest Research
- Ash Dieback – Forest Research
- Sweet Chestnut Blight – Forest Research
Report sightings of Oak Processionary Moths (OPM)
Depending on where you find an OPM nest, you will need to report it to the right organisation – the Forestry Commission or us.
When reporting, please give the precise location of where you saw the nest and, if possible, provide a photo.
