Island Chestnuts



Help required, please.  Teams at the Universities of Bristol and Hull are enlisting the help of the public to survey, and help stop, the spread of a disease to chestnut trees caused by a non-native moth. There are relatively few trees on Scottish islands, let alone horse chestnuts. However, if you feel able to help, then contact Leaf Watch and see what is required. It would be helpful to the survey team were you to send this request to any of your friends living in areas where chestnuts proliferate.
