<p>Under the Occupiers Liability Act, individual landowners are responsible for the
care and management of trees on their land. We encourage all landowners to think strategically
about the management of their ash trees, and use the recently published Forestry Commission
guidance and the Tree Council’s ash dieback toolkit, to adopt best practice and help
reduce the impact of this disease on our landscape.</p><p> </p><p>Onward spread of
ash dieback via wood/timber is considered to be a low risk, so ash wood may be moved
without restriction within Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), to help landowners
recover some of the value from the timber.</p>
