Atebwyd gan Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Landowners are responsible for managing the ash trees on their land and should prioritise early action where dead and dying trees may cause a hazard. Recognising the issues Ash Dieback is having on landowners, officials have worked with a stakeholder group to develop a risk-based policy approach for responding to the disease. To complement this, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) have also developed guidance on some of the more practical issues landowners face when dealing with the disease.
Taken together these documents will support landowners, regulators and policy makers to make decisions when managing ash dieback on their land, whilst also promoting the vital importance of taking into account health and safety to both the public and professionals. Both guidance and policy approach are due to be published simultaneously before summer 2024.
