487772 - Tree Health Pilot Woodland Officer
Protecting our country from pests and diseases is vital to safeguard the value our trees provide to the environment, economy and our health. As well as commercial timber, forests and trees deliver many non-market public goods such as carbon sequestration, air pollution absorption, biodiversity, recreation, landscape value, noise, flood and heat reduction and a whole range of other benefits. Delivering and enhancing the public goods delivered by healthy trees is a top priority for the Forestry Commission and Defra as demonstrated in the 25 Year Environmental Plan and the Tree Health Resilience Strategy.
Owing to several factors including climate change and growing globalisation in trade and travel, the threats to our trees from pests and diseases have risen dramatically over the past 20 years. Several of our most prominent broadleaf species are threatened, for example ash from ash dieback, oak from Acute Oak Decline and Oak Processionary Moth and four of our major conifer species are impacted by current outbreaks of Phytophthora and Ips typographus.
