In recent years, trees and plants in Britain have become vulnerable to a range of new pests and diseases, and outbreaks can seriously threaten their sustainable management. It has become increasingly important that operatives and organisations undertaking work on or around trees adopt and implement routine biosecurity control measures for all sites and specific measures for higher risk sites as identified by a risk assessment process. Trueman Tree Services take this responsibility seriously and undertake all necessary measures to help prevent the spread of tree pathogens.
