Good stop cutting down trees in Canada to fuel your furnaces to generate electricity. Cut down your ash trees to feed your electric needs Canadian forests are not for sale. Cut down your own trees or come up with a better way to generate electricity in the U.K

In the past naturally occurring forest fires would periodically burn through forests killing off potentially deadly funguses and insects that attack trees and other vegetations. But now with man always looking out for forest fires, stopping them wherever they may pop up and not periodically thinning forest of undergrowth many trees are getting sick with funguses and are being strangled with the lack of nutrients by the undergrowth and are dying. I'm not saying we should let forest burn but at least we could use responsible forestry methods of periodically thinning out undergrowth and checking the trees for any fungal growth and selective cutting to improve the health of the forest overall.

Ash trees are used to make bass guitars. This wiping out of Ash trees is basically a conspiracy by lead-guitarists who are being overshadowed by excellent bassists on the stage. Without bass guitars, who will want to listen to a music band anymore? Save Ash trees, Save Rock n Roll!

We can't afford that, let's try vinager, neem etc

We have EAB (emerald ash borer beatle) in the USA. It's killing all the ash trees here. If you look at the bark carefully once infested you can find small D shape holes from larve exiting the cambium layer.. ash trees will be extinct soon. The economic and political affect its having is making me question the origin of this issue. Is it coincidence or planned?

No. They can fix it with a better bacteria. Like bacillus

Is the world so illiterate that they feel the “need” to put dollar signs on things, rather than ADMIT what’s really lacking for their *NEEDS*; which is a personal relationship with God? It’s rather DISGUSTING to hear the world put $$ on issues, rather than admit their lack of faith in God in their lives (who CAN’T be bought or sold with money, but rather one’s own soul). When the world admits they need God, then money will become irrelevant and their personal walk with God will triumph EVERYTHING!!!

Ash disease is devastating lreland also ! It's spreading everywhere . Looks like ash is going the same way as the elm . The amount of trees will be greatly reduced . There most be bigger effort to replace the lost trees with replanting other deciduous species .

Burn them down and grow back new trees only way

[afelder]

Trees 🌳🌲🌴 all grow back what is the big deal

[禎子佐々木]

Bye Bye Everyone see you on the other side.

Well I don’t like ash trees that much anyways .. I prefer oak or pine trees.. But if you want to kill fungus in your already know how to do it to spray the forest pretty simple and courses as we all know how to spell diseases come from China😂 😂😂😂😂😂
