Save the trees
IF WE DON’T ACT NOW THE UK COULD LOSE MILLIONS OF TREES TO PESTS AND DISEASES, DAMAGING OUR GARDENS, LANDSCAPES AND IMPACTING OUR WILDLIFE POPULATIONS
It’s hard to imagine a world without trees. Whether in the garden, lining the streets or growing abundantly in local parks and woodland, trees are essential to our health and wellbeing. They not only give us a chance to relax and connect with nature, they also provide shade, clean our air and help to combat noise pollution.
Observatree is a project that aims to protect UK trees, woods and forests from new pests and diseases. Through early detection and reporting, it has the highest chance of monitoring and controlling outbreaks – and understanding how quickly these pests and diseases spread. And by knowing where problems exist, trees or areas of the UK with natural resistance can be highlighted. But it needs your help.
