Notice Title

RBGKEW1465 Forestry work to fell Spruce tree that are at risk from Eight-toothed spruce bark beetle

Notice Description

The eight-toothed spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) is an increasingly serious threat to spruce woodlands across Europe, including the UK. With climate change creating more favourable conditions for its spread, forestry managers must adopt proactive strategies to protect woodland health. One of the most effective approaches is the pre-emptive felling of vulnerable spruce trees.
