Tree Pests and Diseases - Teacher Factsheets

Teacher factsheets for common pests and diseases on trees in the UK. Covering four common broadleaved trees (oak, ash, sweet chestnut and horse chestnut), these factsheets have been designed for educators and older children to use, complete with management and reporting advice. Developed by the Sylva Foundation in collaboration with the Forestry Commission Plant Health Forestry Team.
