In some cases it is now recommended to leave diseased ash trees where possible, as some have been shown to recover. Ash dieback, scientifically known as Hymenoscyphus fraxineus , is a devastating fungal disease that primarily affects ash trees ( Fraxinus  species). It is also commonly referred to as Chalara dieback of ash . The disease was first identified in Poland in the early 1990s and has since spread...]]></description><link>https://www.cutabovetreeservicesltd.co.uk/post/ash-dieback</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b7e6ebbae3e8001619e1a2</guid><pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2026 11:19:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4e1bc6_8add636ee18e42c8842e436a32c561a6~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_960,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Joe Sivers</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Low Impact Small-Scale Forestry]]></title><description><![CDATA[Low impact small-scale forestry is an approach to woodland management that focuses on carefully working with the landscape to minimise damage to soil, habitats and surrounding ecosystems. Our team regularly carries out forestry and arboricultural work that requires careful handling of timber and machinery, particularly in sensitive environments or areas where access is limited. To support this type of work, we have invested in a 1.9-tonne mini digger fitted with a log grab , as well as a...]]></description><link>https://www.cutabovetreeservicesltd.co.uk/post/low-impact-small-scale-forestry</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b7e64dfaed8c5e63c75c21</guid><pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2026 11:16:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/db249c_1c76b56bb34d4005a33c267497d81b15~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Joe Sivers</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Natural Flood Management in Mid Wales]]></title><description><![CDATA[Natural flood management is an approach that works with the landscape to slow the flow of water during heavy rainfall, helping to reduce the risk of flooding further downstream. We recently assisted Radnorshire Wildlife Trust  with a local project in Mid Wales, helping to create structures known as “leaky dams”  using natural timber. Leaky dams are placed in streams or small water channels. They allow normal water flow to pass through, but slow the movement of water during periods of heavy...]]></description><link>https://www.cutabovetreeservicesltd.co.uk/post/natural-flood-management-in-mid-wales</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b7e4dd107e0353b757fee5</guid><pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2026 11:13:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4e1bc6_282ac1b26ebc4ef097fef419ed4e77c7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Joe Sivers</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
