PROTECT OUR NATIVE WOODLANDS - DO NOT PLANT IMPORTED TREES

Not to finance through its Glastir grant scheme the importing of trees for planting on its own Estate and in the private sector.

Why is this important?

Our native woodlands are in danger: imported trees pose a biosecurity risk. They may be infected with pests and diseases and if so they will contaminate UK grown trees, in tree nurseries and out in the woodlands.

There are 700 pests and diseases on the Forestry Commission's Risk Register. We need to keep these out of the country.

Remove the risk; DO NOT PLANT IMPORTED TREES
